DESCRIPTION
Quinta da Romaneira Sino da Romaneira 2021 is crafted primarily from Touriga Franca (40%) and Tinta Roriz (35%), complemented by 20% Touriga Nacional and 5% Tinto Cão. Harvested from late August to preserve their freshness, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel tanks, and the wine is partially aged for 10 months in second-use French oak barrels. pH 3.57, total acidity 5.2 g/L, residual sugar 0.83 g/L, alcohol 14.5%. In the heart of the Douro Valley, Quinta da Romaneira has embodied viticultural history and excellence since the 19th century. This iconic estate entered a new era in 2004 thanks to a group of passionate investors, including Christian Seely, managing director of the Axa Millésimes properties (which includes the renowned Quinta do Noval), and Antonio Agrellos, a multi-award-winning winemaker in Portugal. Its 85 hectares of terraced vineyards on schist soils showcase the finest of the Douro’s red grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional (40%), as well as white and innovative varieties.
On the nose, crunchy red fruits (sour cherry, raspberry) highlighted by fine spices and a floral touch reminiscent of violet. On the palate, it reveals a juicy freshness, supported by silky tannins and extended by a long, spicy, and mineral finish. It pairs well with a grilled prime rib or a rosemary-confit shoulder of lamb. Aging potential of 10 years and more.
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.
