WINE DESCRIPTION

Quinta da Romaneira Late Bottled Vintage Port Unfiltered is a premium fortified wine produced by the renowned Quinta da Romaneira winery. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the Douro Valley appellation, known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for Port wine. The vineyard features steep slopes and schist soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including foot treading and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is unfiltered, allowing for a richer and more intense flavor profile. This Port wine is characterized by its full-bodied and fruity style, with notes of blackberry, plum, and chocolate.

ORIGINS

Winery: Quinta da Romaneira

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
