DESCRIPTION
Quinta da Romaneira Vintage Port 2015 comes from the 2015 Douro vintage, recognised for the quality of its grapes and the purity of its wines. A blend based on Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinto Cão, from the terraced schist-soil vineyards of Quinta da Romaneira. The 85-hectare vineyard stretches between Pinhão and Alijó, in the heart of Cima Corgo, one of the most acclaimed Port production zones. In the heart of the Douro Valley, Quinta da Romaneira embodies history and viticultural excellence. Already celebrated in the 19th century, this iconic estate entered a new era in 2004 thanks to a group of passionate investors, including Christian Seely, director of the Axa Millésimes properties including the renowned Quinta do Noval. Under the visionary direction of Seely and Antonio Agrellos, one of Portugal's most award-winning winemakers, the property has regained its former glory. Its 85 hectares of terraced vineyards on schist soils reveal the finest red grape varieties of the Douro, with Touriga Nacional covering nearly 40% of the vineyard.
On the nose, an intense aromatic personality of multiple spices, wild berries and violets, faithful expression of the Romaneira terroir. On the palate, pure fruit flavours, velvety tannins and a very long finish. It pairs with chocolate desserts and aged cheeses. Serve at 9°C. Ageing potential of 20 to 30 years.
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.

This 2015 has a very distinctive aromatic identity, spice, violets, wild berries, and a velvety palate that still needs time. Open it in a few years with a fine cheese board.
