Price: 13,00€
DESCRIPTION
R de Romaneira embodies the revival of the historic Quinta da Romaneira estate, located in the heart of the Douro (DOC), under the direction of Christian Seely and Antonio Agrellos. This cuvée reflects the elegance and richness of a UNESCO World Heritage terroir, where schist terraces shape wines of unique character.
This Portuguese red wine is made from a blend dominated by Tinta Roriz (50%) and Touriga Franca (25%), complemented by Touriga Nacional, Syrah, and Tinto Cão. Winemaking focuses on freshness and fruit purity, with only 10% aged in French oak barrels to preserve aromatic expression.
On the nose, it charms with ripe red fruit aromas lifted by floral notes and a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate is balanced and fresh, offering a silky structure and fine tannins, leading to a long, flavorful finish. With a cellaring potential of 5 to 8 years, this fine Douro wine pairs beautifully with herb-crusted rack of lamb or Iberian charcuterie.

REGION
Douro
Portugal
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Douro is one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world. Set along the river that gives it its name, it is divided into three subregions: Baixo Corgo (cooler climate, elegant wines), Cima Corgo (the historic heart, balance and complexity) and Douro Superior (hotter and drier, power and intensity).
Famous for its Ports, the Douro also produces exceptional dry red and white wines from native grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Rabigato. Here, dizzying terraces, schist soils and ancestral know how give wines that combine character, elegance and long ageing potential.
