Description
Quinta da Romaneira is a 400-hectare Single Estate Port winery in the Alto Douro, near the idyllic Pinhâo, world famous for its stunning UNESCO World Heritage views and
terrace vineyards. Quinta da Romaneira has always managed its own business. And that is not surprising, since the vineyards are located on the very best terroirs. Romaneira's ports can compete
with the best from the region.
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 by foot in designated 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 is packed in a beautiful wooden box.
In the glass the wine has a red colour with deep purple hues. In the nose we smell black fruit such as blackberries and black currants and spices. In the mouth the Quinta da Romaneira vintage port 2017 is aromatic with intense notes of pure, black fruit. Firm, velvety tannins. Seductive, captivating and expressive. The port wine has power, depth and a long storage potential

The 2017 Vintage Port is mostly Touriga Nacional (70%), with the rest Touriga Franca, aged for 20 months in neutral tonels. It comes in with 89 grams of residual sugar. This was in bottle only a couple of weeks when tasted. This seems rich and fruity on opening, but not much more. Its fruit is just delicious, but I didn't get the sense of structure I saw from the 2016 last year. Yet, with two hours of air in a glass, this really blossomed, showing fine power, more focus and a serious backbone to go with its ripe fruit. This is another fine Romaneira, but I'm not sure yet that it exceeds the performance of the fine 2016. We will have to see how that goes in time and over the years.

Quinta da Romaneira is a spacious 400 acre Single Estate port houses 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.
