The Story

Charme is a rare wine from the Douro, its elegance and complexity combined with the smooth tannins are unique in expressing old sheltered vineyards from Vale Mendiz in the heart of the Douro area in the Pinhão Valley.

Light red in colour, with clean fruit aromas of cherries and raspberries accompanied by a subtle rustic character in the background.

At this stage the youthful fruit is still very much in the foreground, but its firm underlying structure suggests that this wine will also age well.
