This is a bottle of Quinta do Carmo, a Portuguese wine from the region of Alentejo. If you were wondering why you cannot find any sign of Lafite-Rothschild collaboration, it is because Bacalhoa bought the whole estate in 2008 and turned it into the winemaking and production centre for the whole of the Bacalhao group. Dating back to the 17th Century when it was built by King Joao IV for a Lady in his court, the 1000 hectare estate is planted with some 100 hectares of olives, oak and forests as well as wines. Wines produced include a white and three reds, of which the above wine is the middle in quality.
