Dona Clara 2019, 75cl

Douro

Quinta da Romaneira

Dona Clara uses the name, as well as the image, of the Quinta’s main house, Dona Clara.

The grapes for this wine come from all over Quinta da Romaneira and, more than any other wine, Dona Clara is now a faithful representative of all the strands of the estate and all the grape varieties grown there. From 2019, Dona Clara’s blend is not only made up of all the traditional Douro grape varieties grown at Romaneira: Touriga Francesa, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cao, but also includes some lots of Syrah and Petit Verdot, two very successful monovarietal varieties at Romaneira that bring more complexity and depth to Dona Clara’s blend.

Fermented in stainless steel vats for 7 days, followed by malolactic fermentation for a fortnight.

100% matured in 225lts French oak barrels for 10 months, 10% new oak, 90% second year barrels

Quinta da Romaneira

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.
