Petit Verdot Mirante 2019, 75cl

Douro

Quinta da Romaneira

Vintage Year
The red grape harvest began on September 9 and ended on October 18, under mild temperatures and mostly dry weather. Timely rains occurred on September 21 and 22, and again on October 14 and 17, totalling 47.8 mm. Harvesting was suspended during these days to preserve must quality. The year is marked by the wines’ natural acidity, with relatively low pH and high total acidity, resulting in a freshness rarely seen in the Douro. The Petit Verdot was picked on October 5, 7 and 9.

Vinification
Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats for 10 days. Malolactic fermentation occurred partly in vat and partly in French oak barrels.

Ageing
100% of the blend was aged in oak for 10 months, of which 30% in new French oak barrels (225 litres).

Bottling
May 2021

Analytical Parameters
Total Acidity: 6.60 g/dm³ | pH: 3.42 | Residual Sugar: 0.8 g/dm³

Quinta da Romaneira

Romaneira is one of the great historic Quintas of the Douro Valley in Northern Portugal, on a spectacularly beautiful site overlooking the Douro river facing south, its rocky soil lending its particular character to the wines.

Recently a new and exciting chapter has been added to Romaneira’s long and illustrious story, with the emergence of Romaneira as a key player in the “Douro Revolution”: the discovery that our ancient local grape varieties can be used to make not only excellent Port wines, but increasingly also outstanding unfortified wines that are finding their place among the great wines of the world, while being an expression of our unique terroir.

We are proud of the work of our team, who, building on the experience they gained working on the renaissance of nearby Quinta do Noval, have made major improvements to the Romaneira vineyard over time.

We hope this website helps you share our excitement about Romaneira; read on to find out more about our vision for Romaneira, our wines, history, our terroir and vineyard, and the people who make these wines.
