Quinta Da Romaneira, Sino da Romaneira 2020
DESCRIPTION
Sino da Romaneira embodies the soul of Quinta da Romaneira, located in the heart of the Douro (DOC), around the Cima Corgo and Upper Douro sub-regions. Its name refers to the historic 18th-century bell that adorns the entrance to the main house.
The grapes come from various sectors of the estate, each selected for its unique micro-terroir. The blend is mainly Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, complemented by Touriga Nacional and Tinta Cão. After a 6-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by a two-week malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 10 months in 225 L French oak barrels, 30% second use and 70% third use.
The nose reveals ripe red fruits alongside elegant floral notes and sweet spices, expressing the richness of the terroir. On the palate, a silky, balanced texture leads to a fresh, persistent finish.
Rated 93 points by Wine Enthusiast, this premium Portuguese wine is delightful now but will gracefully evolve for around ten years. It pairs beautifully with game terrine with berries or slow-cooked rosemary lamb shoulder.
