Carcavelos DOC
[kar-kuh-VEH-lyoosh]

A small Portuguese DENOMINAÇÃO DE ORIGEM CONTROLADA (DOC) located just west of Lisbon near the seaside resort of Estoril. Carcavelos is known for its sweet, white FORTIFIED WINES made from local grape varieties of Boais, Cerceal do Douro (SERCIAL), Galego Dourado, and Rabo de Ovelha. They also make an almost-DRY style that’s more appropriate as an APÉRITIF.
