NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Ramos Pinto Vintage Porto is a deep, intense ruby-red color.On the nose, the wine has aromas of ripe berries, leather, and spices, with a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with notes of red fruits and spices, and a hint of caramel. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. Overall, this is an excellent example of a vintage port, and one that will be sure to please any port lover.

ORIGINS
Winery: Ramos Pinto
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.CUSTOMER RATING
