Ramos Pinto Vintage Quinta Ervamoira 2009

Ramos Pinto, a well-respected port producer, became part of the Louis Roederer family in 1990. This acquisition led to a modernization and expansion of their range to include table wines. The company owns four vineyards: Quinta do Bom Retiro, Quinta da Urtiga, Quinta dos Bons Ares and Quinta de Ervamoira. The grapes for their Duas Quintas table wines come from the latter two vineyards.

Quinta da Ervamoira is located in the Douro Superior and covers around 200 hectares of vineyards. The optimal climatic conditions of this area allow the production of wines of exceptional quality. It was also the first winery in the Douro to introduce, after many years of experimentation, separate plots, where each plot grows only a specific grape variety, adapted to the characteristics of the soil and climate.

In 1994, the ripening conditions were so perfect and the quality of the harvest so excellent that Ramos Pinto decided to produce a limited quantity of a Single Quinta Vintage Port. The result was remarkable, and it is rare to experience such a fascinating balance of concentration and elegance as in Quinta da Ervamoira Vintage 1994!

A Vintage Port will typically form sediment after a few years, which should not be mixed with the wine when served. Therefore, it is important to decant a Vintage Port into a carafe before serving, so that the sediment remains in the bottle.
