O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2024

Dark red colour with grenat reflections, clean and bright. On the nose reveals a concentration of fruit, fresh aromas of berries such as blackberries, strawberries and raspberries. This is followed by fresh spices and warm, toasty aromas. In the mouth the fruit intensity and concentration are maintained. It finishes long and fresh, with soft tannins. Duas Quintas rede wine stands out and for the perfect harmony between its concentration and liveliness.

Duas Quintas

THE WINE

Duas Quintas red wine is a wine from the Upper Douro, from Quinta de Ervamoira (150 metres altitude) and Quinta dos Bons Ares (600 metres altitude) and is made with traditional grape varieties that express the potential of this special region

VINIFICATION
Plot by plot, the grapes are tasted successively in the field until the ideal moment to harvest is found. Once at the winery, the grapes are destemmed, gently crushed and directed to different fermentation vessels – granite mills, oak vats, concrete and stainless steel tanks. Our in-depth knowledge of our plots allows us to choose the most suitable vessel and type of fermentation. The maceration time between must and skins is prolonged, in order to achieve the desired body and structure. After the malolactic fermentation, 20% of the wine ages in French oak barrels, 30% in casks and vats of the same type of wood and the remaining 50% in stainless steel vats for about 12 months.

Ramos Pinto

Founded by Adriano Ramos Pinto in 1880, Casa Ramos Pinto rapidly became noted, at the time, for its innovative and enterprising strategy. Associated with quality bottled wines, it began operating on the Brazilian market in the early 20th century and quickly became responsible for half of the wine exported to South America, whilst it was still conquering generations of loyal customers in Portugal and Europe. These were the natural results of a forward thinking strategy, based on the modernisation of selection, batching and ageing circuits, the continuous wine research and the special care which Adriano Ramos Pinto devoted to the packaging and promotion of his wines.
The Ramos Pinto wines have therefore become a reference of quality.

From the very onset was born a unique collection of art objects, which are displayed today in the recently opened Museum Area – Casa Ramos Pinto.
The taste for culture instilled by Adriano Ramos Pinto in the working philosophy of Casa Ramos Pinto, is still alive today. In 1997, Casa Ramos Pinto created the Ervamoira On-Site Museum, aimed at environmental, oenological, archaeological and anthropological research of the Vale do Côa. Researchers also have at their disposal the Historical Archives in Vila Nova de Gaia, with a precious collection of documents on the production and export of wines from the late 19th century.

Aware that the quality of its wines were confined to the earth of the wine producing Douro, Casa Ramos Pinto meticulously studied this Demarcated Region, and eventually became the owners of a number of estates with very special characteristics. The objective was to ensure the control and quality of the whole production process. By perfecting its wines, Ramos Pinto created unique nectars with its own signature.

In 1990, Casa Ramos Pinto became part of the Roederer Group, whose history has identical characteristics. So, the qualities that gave fame to Casa Ramos Pinto took on an international dimension.
