ADRIANO RAMOS PINTO

 - 

Wines from Douro, Portugal

30-Year Tawny

Ramos Pinto was established in 1880 and currently holds the largest proportion of vineyards in relation to its production, in the Duoro Valley. This is directly linked to the high quality of wines it produces. The winemaker, Joao Nicalau de Alameida is a leading innovator in the Duoro region, known for his exhaustive study on the five finest grapes for port production. He is also a pioneer of vertical slope vineyard planting in Douro Valley, opening up mechanized farming.

The 30-Year Tawny is Ramos-Pinto’s most distinguished port, made from estate vineyards in the best production zones of the Delimited Douro Region. It is a blend of wines that have been aging in oak for an average of three decades in the winery’s cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia.

Winemaker Notes

The Ramos-Pinto 30-Year old Tawny is amber colored with orange and garnet undertones. The delicate green highlights of meniscus are characteristic of old cask-aged wines, and illustrate the quality and advanced age of this fine port. This complex, perfectly balanced port shows rich aromas of dried fruit and vanilla. Agitate the glass and spice aromas of cinnamon and cocoa are liberated. On the palate, the attack is fresh, fine and delicate. Ripe, dried fruit softly merges with almond and hazelnut, culminating in vanilla flavors that linger gracefully on the palate.
