DESCRIPTION
Quinta da Romaneira Vintage Port 2018 is a Vintage Port from terraced schist-soil vineyards in the Douro. A predominantly Touriga Nacional blend (70%), complemented by Touriga Franca, aged 24 months in neutral oak vats (tonéis). This vintage offers relatively ripe tannins, reasonable depth and a tasty finish. 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, abundant black fruits and prunes, with a firm structure and lifted acidity for balance. Its richness is impressive and this wine will open fully from 2029. It pairs with chocolate desserts, game or aged cheeses. Serve at 9°C. Ageing potential of 20 to 30 years.
RéGION
Douro
Portugal
Inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, le Douro est l’un des plus anciens vignobles délimités au monde. Situé le long du fleuve qui lui donne son nom, il se divise en trois sous-régions : Baixo Corgo (climat plus frais, vins élégants), Cima Corgo (cœur historique, équilibre et complexité) et Douro Superior (plus chaud et sec, puissance et intensité).
Célèbre pour ses Portos, le Douro produit aussi d’exceptionnels vins rouges et blancs secs issus de cépages autochtones comme la Touriga Nacional, la Touriga Franca, la Tinta Roriz ou le Rabigato. Ici, terrasses vertigineuses, sols de schiste et savoir-faire ancestral donnent naissance à des cuvées qui allient caractère, élégance et long potentiel de garde.
Recommandé pour vous:
Black fruits, prunes, lovely richness and firm tannins that need time. A serious Port to open with a chocolate fondant or to keep in the cellar for a good decade longer.
