About
Casa Carmen is a family-owned winery producing artisanal dry wines and vermouths from their farm vineyards in the Brandywine Valley. Brothers Enrique and Felipe Pallares, former professional polo players, craft well-balanced wines and exceptional vermouths like Tender is the Night and The Sun Also Rises.
