Long description
Quinta da Romaneira is not only close to the world famous Quinta do Noval, but is also run by the same charismatic owner: Christian Seely. This great wineman, together with winemaker Antonio Agrellos, was previously responsible for the successful revival of Noval. With equal success, the two breathed new life into Quinta da Romaneira.
The historic winery was renovated, working methods modernized and a brand new wine cellar was built. Antonio made the wines until 2017, when his talented cousin Carlos took over from him. The fact that Christian and Carlos form a strong duo is evident from the beautiful wines.
Take this spectacular Vintage Port for example. The weather conditions were pretty ideal on Romaneira in 2019. It was sunny and dry all summer. Thanks to the slightly lower temperatures, the vines were sufficiently resistant to the low rainfall. Also around the harvest it was dry and not too hot. This allowed the grapes (touriga nacional, touriga francesa and sousão) to be harvested in several picking sessions at the point of perfect ripeness.
Once in the cellar, the grapes were trampled in stainless steel, temperature-controlled fermentation vats (lagares). After fermentation, the wine matured for twenty months in large used Port barrels (tonéis) in the cellar of Romaneira.
The end result is a particularly impressive Vintage Port. It has the expressive aroma characteristic of Romaneira, a seductive yet powerful structure and a dizzying length. Drink it eight to fifteen years after harvest at the earliest, or let it mature for a few more years in the bottle.
Drink at
Nice with various spicy cheeses or just as a special evening port.
Tasting note
Deep purple-red port with a subtle scent of stewed plum, cherry, licorice and vanilla. Mouth-filling and mildly sweet in taste with a harmonious freshness and supple tannins. Impressive finish with black fruit, cocoa and tobacco.
Shelf life
Powerful port with a shelf life of at least 25 years. Ideally, drink it either in its youth, or from 8-10 years of age in the bottle.
