The grapes come from the Chão dos Eremitas vineyard, planted in 1970 on the southern foothills of the Serra d’Ossa at an altitude of 256–267 metres. The poorly developed, sandy-textured granite soils are slightly acidic. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation and remains on the skins for 40 days; it then matures for twelve months in neutral casks. It shows an open ruby-red colour, fresh bitter fruit, pomegranate and graphite, along with plenty of acidity, fine tannin, tension and a rather lean, deep body. The limited bottling comprises 4.999 numbered bottles. ([antoniomacanita.com](https://www.antoniomacanita.com/uploads/subcanais2_conteudos/tinta-carvalha-2021-eng.pdf?utm_source=openai))
