{"title":"Cima Corgo","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"ramos-pinto-lbv","title":"Ramos Pinto LBV","description":"This Ramos Pinto LBV, which stands for Late Bottled Vintage, is a blend of Sousão, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional grapes. This port is aged in oak barrels for four to six years, unlike a vintage port, which only ages in wood for two years before bottling. As a result of this extended oak contact, LBV ports develop mature, fruity flavors at a younger age, offering much of the character of a vintage port without the wait and at a lower price.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The quality of the earth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Founded in 1880, Ramos Pinto is a classic port house with a rich history. Quality is always paramount at this house. They use only grapes from their own vineyards, which is quite unusual in the Douro. Their philosophy is that the quality of their wines begins in the soil of the Douro region. This philosophy remains true today, resulting in exceptional wines that can be enjoyed again and again.\n\n\n \nThis Ramos Pinto LBV, or Late Bottle Vintage, is a port made from a single vintage of grapes. These LBV ports can only be produced if a vintage is outstanding. This Ramos Pinto is also outstanding, with a beautiful aroma of sour cherry, delicious dark chocolate, and a distinctly resinous quality. The young port is aged for at least four years in oak \"Port pipes.\" Here, it matures and is then bottled without sediment. Therefore, decanting this Ramos Pinto LBV is not recommended.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Ramos Pinto LBV taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIt has very deep red and bluish reflections in the glass. This LBV is intense, full-bodied, and on the palate, it's soft and rounded, emphasizing youthfulness and fruitiness. The palate reveals hints of red fruit, spices, a touch of vanilla and cherries, grapes, and fresh raisins. In short, a delicious port that's not too heavy and pairs beautifully with full-bodied cheeses, as well as chocolate desserts. This wine pairs well with cheese soufflé, partridge with glazed shallots and artichokes, game, cheeses, chocolate, and red fruit desserts.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775747723343,"sku":"194","price":23.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/ramos-pinto-lbv_194.webp?v=1770041771"},{"product_id":"ramos-pinto-vintage-2018-quinta-do-bom-retiro","title":"Ramos Pinto Vintage 2018 Quinta do Bom Retiro","description":"Ramos Pinto's most special Port, this Vintage Port is from the beautiful 2018 vintage, a remarkable year because they were able to produce a port from a single harvest!

Besides producing wines of exceptional quality, the estate is renowned for its knowledge of terroir and pioneering viticulture. Through a strict production policy, the selection of the finest Douro grape varieties, and systematic technical and technological research, the estate has established itself as a benchmark for producing superior quality wines in Portugal.\n\n\n \nThe Port House owns four vineyards in the Douro wine region: Quintas do Bom Retiro and da Urtiga, traditional vineyards in the heart of the Douro Valley, for refinement and sophistication; Quinta dos Bons Ares, one of the most modern vineyards in the Douro Superior, for a fresh and lively note; and finally, Quinta de Ervamoira, located in the Côa Valley, for structure, firmness, and intense fruit. Only grapes from its own vineyards are used.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A living bottle of port\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nTraditional techniques extract the juice from the grapes with exceptional efficiency and care. The final result is truly exceptional; decanting is essential because this Vintage was bottled with sediment. We can therefore conclude that this Ramos Pinto Vintage 2018 continues to develop its flavor as it ages in the bottle. We call it a living bottle of port. A vibrant red color with tawny undertones. The nose reveals notes of fruit like blackcurrants, cherries, grapes, and fresh raisins.

Here, the vineyards are situated on steep terraces along the river, where the warm summers, cold winters, and large temperature variations between day and night produce concentrated, aromatic white grapes. Each of the different plots contributes its own distinct character to the final blend, which is aged in the Andresen cellar to create a harmonious, average-aged 10-year-old White Port. The wine is made at Quinta das Aranhas in the Douro and then matured in Vila Nova de Gaia, where the cool, humid cellars allow for slow and even aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"2250\"\u003eAt Andresen, the grapes are still gently crushed by foot in traditional granite vats, known as lagares. The bunches are left undestemmed and first macerated for about a day in stainless steel vats, allowing the color and aromas to develop from the skins before fermentation begins. Fermentation then lasts for about two days and is stopped halfway through by the addition of wine alcohol, leaving residual sugar in the wine and creating the characteristic Port profile. The wine is then aged in 600-liter old wooden barrels until bottling. These barrels retain almost no woody aromas, but allow for a natural, slow oxidative aging that gives the White Port its nutty complexity and soft structure. The final wine is a blend of several vintages, with an average age of 10 years and an alcohol content of 19.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2252\" data-end=\"2277\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2279\" data-end=\"2451\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2279\" data-end=\"2309\"\u003eArinto – Douro, Cima Corgo\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-start=\"2309\" data-end=\"2312\"\u003eArinto contributes with fresh acidity and a citrusy character that gives the wine tension and length, even after extended barrel aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2453\" data-end=\"2599\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2453\" data-end=\"2483\"\u003eCódega – Douro, Cima Corgo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2483\" data-end=\"2486\"\u003e Códega provides ripe white fruit and a round texture, making the blend feel softer and fuller on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2741\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2633\"\u003eMalvasia – Douro, Cima Corgo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2633\" data-end=\"2636\"\u003e Malvasia adds floral notes, a slightly aromatic spiciness and extra richness to the aroma and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2743\" data-end=\"2907\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2743\" data-end=\"2775\"\u003eRabigato – Douro, Cima Corgo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2775\" data-end=\"2778\"\u003e Rabigato brings structure and a fine minerality, with a subtle, fresh backbone that nicely balances the sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2909\" data-end=\"2942\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2944\" data-end=\"3650\"\u003eIn the glass, Andresen 10-Year-Old White Port has a light orange color with golden yellow hues.

Since 1845, Andresen has maintained large stocks of aged port in Vila Nova de Gaia, allowing the cellar master to draw from an impressive library for this cuvée. What exactly is a 20-Year-Old White Port? It's a white port whose various base wines are blended in such a way that the flavor and structure correspond to an average barrel age of twenty years, with considerable complexity and a silky smooth mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"663\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"1317\"\u003eThe grapes for Andresen 20-Year-Old White Port come from Portugal, from the Douro region, in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior subregions. The vineyards are situated on steep, terraced slopes along the river, where the combination of hot summers, cold winters, and wide temperature variations makes the grapes compact and aromatic. In the poor, stony soils, the vines must root deeply, resulting in low yields and concentrated fruit. The wine is made at Quinta das Aranhas in the Douro and then matures further in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia, where the cooler, moister climate ensures slow, even maturation in barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1346\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1348\" data-end=\"2182\"\u003eAt Andresen, the white grapes are traditionally crushed by foot in granite lagares, without first destemming the bunches. After crushing, they macerate for about a day in stainless steel vats, allowing the aromas and structure to be released from the skins. Fermentation then lasts about two days and is stopped halfway through by the addition of wine alcohol, leaving residual sugar in the wine and developing the typical Port profile. The wine is then aged in 600-liter old wooden barrels. These barrels retain almost no woody aromas but allow for natural, slow oxidative aging. For the final Andresen 20-Year-Old White Port, several wines are blended together to create a wine with an average age of twenty years and an alcohol content of 19.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2184\" data-end=\"2209\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2382\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003eArinto – Cima Corgo and Douro Superior\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-start=\"2252\" data-end=\"2255\"\u003eArinto brings fresh acidity and citrus notes to the wine, giving the blend tension and length, even after long barrel aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2529\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2425\"\u003eCódega – Cima Corgo and Douro Superior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2425\" data-end=\"2428\"\u003e Códega provides ripe white fruit and a round texture, making the mouthfeel rich and soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2531\" data-end=\"2705\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2531\" data-end=\"2574\"\u003eMalvasia – Cima Corgo and Douro Superior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2574\" data-end=\"2577\"\u003e Malvasia adds floral aromas, honeyed nuances and a light spiciness, which contribute to the fragrant complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2707\" data-end=\"2871\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2707\" data-end=\"2750\"\u003eRabigato – Cima Corgo and Douro Superior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2750\" data-end=\"2753\"\u003e Rabigato provides structure, a fine minerality and helps to keep the balance between sweetness and freshness sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2906\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2908\" data-end=\"3611\"\u003eIn the glass, Andresen 20-Year-Old White Port has a deep orange color with golden-yellow highlights.
