O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2015
This is a carefully selected blend of elegant wines aged in barrel for 5 years. Its lightness and elegance come from having less colour extraction due to shorter skin/juice contact at fermentation. It is more complex on the nose than the Ruby, showing youthful fruit with a raspberry character. On the palate It is medium sweet with a well balanced fruit and richness.
Made 100% with grapes from vines classified “A” quality from Quinta da Romaneira, located in the heart of the Douro Valley. Winemaking: The grapes were trodden by foot and vinified in stainless steel “lagares” with temperature control between 25º-28ºC. Ageing: In large wooden barrels (“Tonéis” and “Balseiros”) of old oak.
Contains sulphites.

Romaneira is one of the great historic Quintas of the Douro Valley in Northern Portugal, on a spectacularly beautiful site overlooking the Douro river facing south, its rocky soil lending its particular character to the wines.
Recently a new and exciting chapter has been added to Romaneira’s long and illustrious story, with the emergence of Romaneira as a key player in the “Douro Revolution”: the discovery that our ancient local grape varieties can be used to make not only excellent Port wines, but increasingly also outstanding unfortified wines that are finding their place among the great wines of the world, while being an expression of our unique terroir.
We are proud of the work of our team, who, building on the experience they gained working on the renaissance of nearby Quinta do Noval, have made major improvements to the Romaneira vineyard over time.
We hope this website helps you share our excitement about Romaneira; read on to find out more about our vision for Romaneira, our wines, history, our terroir and vineyard, and the people who make these wines.
