O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2019

Ruby colour, dense, dark, clean and bright. Intense aroma of red fruits, strawberry jam, dark chocolate and spices. In the mouth it is consistent, solid and with a serious entry, involving our papillae with notes of blackberries, rock-rose and a peppery touch.

Bons Ares

Quinta dos Bons Ares is located in Douro Superior, in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, in a very specific terroir due to its granite soils and altitude, which give the grapes an acidity and aromatic potential unusual in this region. The other particularity of this wine is the blend between the new and the old world, between traditional grape varieties, such as Touriga Nacionaland Touriga Franca and the international Cabernet Sauvignon, granite presses and stainless steel robots. This Casa Ramos Pinto wine is a good example of innovative tradition. A modern classic. The grapes were hand-picked into small boxes and immediately received into the winemaking centre of Quinta dos Bons Ares. Fermentation was 100% in stainless steel vats, between 25 and 28 degrees of temperature followed by a long maceration. After malolactic fermentation, 50% of the wine was aged for 14 months in 2 and 3 year old French oak barrels and casks.

Ramos Pinto

Founded by Adriano Ramos Pinto in 1880, Casa Ramos Pinto rapidly became noted, at the time, for its innovative and enterprising strategy. Associated with quality bottled wines, it began operating on the Brazilian market in the early 20th century and quickly became responsible for half of the wine exported to South America, whilst it was still conquering generations of loyal customers in Portugal and Europe. These were the natural results of a forward thinking strategy, based on the modernisation of selection, batching and ageing circuits, the continuous wine research and the special care which Adriano Ramos Pinto devoted to the packaging and promotion of his wines.
The Ramos Pinto wines have therefore become a reference of quality.

From the very onset was born a unique collection of art objects, which are displayed today in the recently opened Museum Area – Casa Ramos Pinto.
The taste for culture instilled by Adriano Ramos Pinto in the working philosophy of Casa Ramos Pinto, is still alive today. In 1997, Casa Ramos Pinto created the Ervamoira On-Site Museum, aimed at environmental, oenological, archaeological and anthropological research of the Vale do Côa. Researchers also have at their disposal the Historical Archives in Vila Nova de Gaia, with a precious collection of documents on the production and export of wines from the late 19th century.

Aware that the quality of its wines were confined to the earth of the wine producing Douro, Casa Ramos Pinto meticulously studied this Demarcated Region, and eventually became the owners of a number of estates with very special characteristics. The objective was to ensure the control and quality of the whole production process. By perfecting its wines, Ramos Pinto created unique nectars with its own signature.

In 1990, Casa Ramos Pinto became part of the Roederer Group, whose history has identical characteristics. So, the qualities that gave fame to Casa Ramos Pinto took on an international dimension.
