Quinta das Carvalhas is a property of great beauty and spectacularity, with
a predominant position on the slope of the left bank of the Douro River in Pinhão, which extends along the slopes of the right bank of the tributary Rio Torto.

The oldest written references to the Quinta date back to 1759, with its
magnificent Old Vineyards, from post-phylloxeric plantation, reaching the respectable age of a century.

Carvalhas Branco was born in 2010 through an ambitious approach to small plots of white grapes located at one of the highest points of the Quinta, where the Viosinho and Gouveio varieties benefit from a high altitude (400m) and fresh breezes, providing ideal conditions for the ripening of white grapes.

The presence of Viosinho gives the wine its structure and generous character, this being a grape known for its remarkable ability to interact with wood, while Gouveio presents the wine with enormous freshness, minerality, acidity and elegance.
