A limited edition that reaffirms the excellence of Quinta dos Carvalhais’ white wines
Quinta dos Carvalhais once again elevates the expression of great white wines with a limited-edition Gouveio, true to the distinctive and experimental spirit that defines its vision in the Dão region. In a year when the grape variety showed itself at its best, displaying exemplary purity, the Quinta dos Carvalhais Gouveio 2023 Special Edition was born—marking the first time this variety has been grown on the estate in over three decades of its history.
This wine is the result of careful observation and a spirit that never shies away from experimentation. In a year marked by climatic challenges, the grape variety proved resilient and revealed a remarkable balance between aromatic exuberance and vibrant freshness. Under the guidance of winemaker Beatriz Cabral de Almeida, the Gouveio has emerged as dense, precise, and deeply elegant.
The sophistication of this edition—limited to just 3,655 bottles—stems from a combination of 18 months of aging in oak and stainless steel, resulting in a creamy texture and complexity where tropical notes mingle with the minerality of the granitic soils. It is a wine designed for those who seek distinction and attention to detail, and for whom gastronomy is its natural setting.
Launching this Gouveio is a tribute to the pioneering history of Quinta dos Carvalhais, the estate that first introduced the Dão’s first Encruzado in 1992.
