THE QUINTA
Romaneira is one of the largest estates on the region, with a total of 412 hectares and 3 kilometres of river frontage on the river Douro. The vineyards are planted on terraces on the steeply sloping hills of the property: with many valleys and promontories, Romaneira contains several microclimates and various South Easterly, South Westerly and Southern facing slopes. The resulting diversity means that the single vineyard wines of Romaneira are made from grapes from a complex blend of sites, and this is one of the keys to the quality and character of Romaneira wines. All our wines are made exclusively from grapes from our vineyard, a distinctive characteristic of Quinta da Romaneira wines.
VINEYARD
The decision to renovate Romaneira in 2004 was based on a belief, since vindicated by the outstanding quality of the wines we have been able to produce here, that Romaneira possesses one of the great vineyard terroirs of the Douro. Our old vines have been lovingly spruced up and cared for. Vines have also been replanted, offering a wider range of expression of the various different microclimates and individual terroirs at the Quinta. The vineyard has 86 hectares planted, principally with the noble Douro grape varieties of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão, but also a small proportion of white grapes (Gouveio and Malvasia-Fina), and a few experimental hectares of “exotic” grape varieties such as Syrah and Petit Verdot, which are beginning to yield very exciting results.
WINERY
Although technology on its own cannot make a great wine, even a good team with a great terroir can find life difficult without the right tools. We decided in 2005 to construct a new winery at Romaneira. For Christian Seely and Antonio Agrellos this was a long dreamed of opportunity to construct the ideal Douro Valley winery, starting from scratch. Most wineries in the Douro are far from ideal, dating back to their 18th or even 17th century origins. This makes them very picturesque, but not usually very practical. At Romaneira we were able to dig a large hole in the ground and then build the winery we wanted to make, two thirds underground (aesthetically very pleasing but also very practical for storage of wines in cool stable conditions). Our “lagares” are in stainless steel, which means that as well as all the traditional advantages of foot treading grapes for Port Wine, we also benefit from the technical ability to heat and cool them. Our vatroom consists of stainless steel temperature controlled conical vats, which give us the flexibility we need to be able to express fully the personality of the vineyard of Romaneira.
Vintage Port:
Seltener und hochwertiger Portwein der Spitzenklasse. Nur herausragende Jahrgänge werden zu Vintage-Jahrgängen erklärt. Diese Deklaration ist nicht einheitlich; jedes Haus nimmt eine eigene Prüfung und eigene Entscheidung vor, die sie offiziell dem Portweininstitut meldet.
Wurde ein Jahrgang zum Vintage erklärt, so wird er in Flaschen abgefüllt und der weitere Reifungsprozess des Weines findet in der Flasche statt und kann viele Jahre (wenn nicht Jahrzehnte) dauern. Dadurch hat jede Flasche ihr „Depot“, welches der Wein braucht, um sich in der Flasche weiter zu entwickeln. Nach frühestens zehn bis 12 Jahren ist der Vintage trinkreif. Der Wein wird dekantiert und sollte innerhalb von 24 Stunden getrunken werden. Wie jeder Portwein, muss dieser Wein vom Portweininstitut begutachtet werden.
Der Wein wird fachgerecht gelagert (Etikett, Kapsel und Füllstand siehe Fotos). Weine reifen mit dem Alter und es kommt zu geschmackliche Veränderungen. Entsprechend gibt es aufgrund des Alters keine Garantie mehr ob und wie schmackhaft / trinkbar der Wein noch ist. Das Geschmacksrisiko trägt ausschließlich der Käufer.
Der Wein enthält Sulfite und Alkohol. Der Wein ist für Schwangere und Minderjährige nicht geeignet.
Wein kann Allergene enthalten.
