Identity

Since 1895, Carvalho, Ribeiro & Ferreira has carried the legacy of the best Portuguese brandies. A story that over the years has in its genesis, the sharing of good memories at the table, the experience of more than a century of tradition and the trust that passes from generation to generation.
With its DNA creased in a tireless obsession for perfection and in the search for the best batches of Portuguese spirits, the desire to create this spirit was born, in the Vinhos Verdes Demarcated Region.
It was a long process of selection of old lots that involved producers from the region and their enormous capacity to revisit and qualify old lots. In these batches, brandies of various ages were selected, the main batch being over 40 years old.

This final blend results from the distillation of various brandies from the region's grape varieties, all kept over time in French oak and carefully selected. A batch reinvented over and over again, with continuous team chapters, which emerge in tasting experiences to reach perfection. Each batch will be different, to achieve a unique and unrivaled product, always respecting the aromatic versatility of this terroir.
CR&F XO Fine & Rare
4th edition
This 4th edition, true to its DNA of tireless obsession with perfection in the search for the best batches on the market, brings us a brandy from the demarcated region of Lourinhã.

This region has unique soil and climate characteristics that make it difficult for the grapes to ripen, giving the wine a profile rich in acidity and low alcohol content - perfect for distillation and the production of exceptional brandy.

Tasting Notes

Appearance
It has an intense golden color with amber reflections, the result of prolonged aging in French and national oak barrels. Its clarity and brightness show the quality of the ageing.
Aroma
The nose reveals great complexity and aromatic depth. Elegant notes of dried fruit stand out, particularly walnuts and toasted almonds, surrounded by nuances of vanilla, caramel and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. There is also a slight iodized and saline touch, reflecting the region's Atlantic influence.
Palate
The mouthfeel is silky and balanced, with an unctuous and enveloping texture. The taste profile confirms the aromatic notes, with toasted dried fruit, honey and dark chocolate standing out. The well-integrated acidity gives freshness and prolongs the taste, while the notes of noble wood and spices add structure and sophistication. The finish is long, persistent and harmonious, leaving a feeling of warmth and elegance.
Drinking recommendation:
Serve at 15º, drink at 18º.
