O Produtor, tasting note published in March 9th 2023
Monovarietal made from Syrah grapes. Wine of intense ruby colour, defined and deep aromas, spice and red fruits, mint and dark chocolate notes. The palate is balanced, dominated by fine acidity, intense tannins and good dimension, well integrated in the structure of the wine and providing an unctuous and long finish. Quinta da Escusa produces all its wines respecting Organic Farming practices.
This red wine was made from the best Syrah grapes harvested from our Terroir’s Virturo vineyards at Quinta da Escusa. Situated between the Tejo valley and the mountains of Montejunto and Candeeiros, the harvest was carried out manually in small boxes, followed by processes of interlacing the bunches and berries. Fermentation in lagares with pre maceration and ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Casa Romana Vini
In the lands that today constitute Quinta do Porto Nogueira and Quinta da Escusa, the family began to plant vineyards, privileging the terroirs once occupied by old vines, always with the objective of producing exceptional grapes and making unique wines, originated in Quinta Nogueira , Quinta da Escusa and Quinta da Página. Quinta do Porto Nogueira is located in Alguber, in the municipality of Cadaval, about 70 km west of Lisbon. In the first half of the eighteenth century, it was always owned by the same family and was donated to the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, around 1980. Since 2004 it is a Romana Vini estate. Quinta da Escusa is located in Senhora da Escusa, in the municipality of Rio Maior, about 70 km northeast of Lisbon, between the villages of Quintas and Vale Barco. Part of the Quinta da Escusa estate belonged to the grandparents and parents of the current owners who, over the decades, exercised agriculture and viticulture. The secular house of Quinta do Porto Nogueira is set against the Roman Bridge over the Arnóia river, which would be the passage of the Roman road that linked Collippo (near Leiria) to Eburobrittium (Óbidos) and that followed to Olisipo (Lisbon). The bridge is testimony to the presence of the Romans in the region and inspired the name Romana Vini, Family Winery.
