Quinta da Romaneira is a 400-acre Single Estateport house in the Alto Douro, near idyllic Pinhâo, world-famous for its beautiful UNESCO World Heritage-awarded views and
terrace vineyards. Quinta da Romaneira has always kept its business operations under its own management. And that's not surprising, since the vineyards are located on the very best terroirs. The ports of Romaneira can measure themselves
with the best in the region.
After two consecutive years of general declaration, the 2018 harvest will not bring a third general Vintage Port declaration this year. Nevertheless, a number of the most important port houses, including Quinta da Romaneira, are marketing their 2018 Vintage Port. The quality is simply very high: that's enough reason to release a Vintage Port 2018!
The grapes come from the vineyard 'Quinta da Romaneira' in the heart of the Douro Valley. This port is a blend of 65% Touriga Nacional & 35% Touriga Francesa. The grapes are gently crushed with the foot in the appropriate containers, called 'lagares'. The must is then fermented at a controlled temperature between 25 and 28 degrees in stainless steel tanks and then the port wine matures for 24 months in barrels of Portuguese oak and chestnut. The wine was finally bottled around October 2020 and this version is packed in a beautiful wooden box.
In the glass, the wine has a red color with deep purple hues. In the nose we smell black fruits such as blackberries and blackcurrants and spices. On the palate, the Quinta da Romaneira 2018 vintage port is aromatic with intense notes of pure, black fruit. Firm, velvety tannins. Seductive, captivating and expressive. The port wine has strength, depth and a long aging potential
Quinta da Romaneira is a spacious 400 acre Single Estate port house in the Alto Douro, near idyllic Pinhâo, world famous for its beautiful UNESCO World Heritage awarded views and terraced vineyards. Quinta da Romaneira has always kept its business operations in-house. And that is not surprising, since the vineyards are located on the very best terroirs. The ports of Romaneira can compete with the best in the region.
Besides being one of the most beautiful wine regions in Europe, the Douro is one of the oldest wine regions with an official designation of origin. The history of Romaneira goes back to 1757, when vines were already planted on the domain. Romaneira's port wines first appear in the books around 1843 and in 1972 the 1861 and 1863 vintages are auctioned for the first time by the London auction house Christie's.
With a history of more than 260 years, Romaneira has managed to establish itself as a Single Estate between the major trading houses. The current winemaker is António Agrellos, who initially gained his experience in Bordeaux and has been named the best winemaker in Portugal in the category of 'fortified wines' several times.
The list of awards is absolutely incredible.
