The CARM Touriga Nacional Natural 2021 is vinified at CARM's winery in Quinta das Marvalhas, Almendra. The winery is equipped with modern technology for precise temperature control, essential for managing fermentation in the Douro's climate. A key aspect of this wine's production is its vinification without the addition of sulfur dioxide.
