Founded in 1880, Ramos Pinto is a classic port winery with a rich history. Quality is always paramount at this winery. They use only grapes from their own vineyards, a practice quite unusual in the Douro. Their philosophy is that the quality of their wines begins in the soil of the Douro region. This principle remains true today, resulting in exceptional wines that can be enjoyed again and again. The Adriano Ramos Pinto Port Winery has two wineries for the production of its "Duas Quintas." The 80-hectare Quinta da Ervamoira is located near the Spanish border on the Rio Côa in the Douro Superior region. Here, the mountains are at their highest, the days are hottest, and the weather is driest. The 50-hectare Quinta dos Bons Ares is approximately 650 meters above sea level, cooler and slightly wetter than Quinta da Ervamoira, and offers unique conditions for red wine production. That's why a new, modern cellar was built here, with temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation tanks and a cool, humid wooden barrel cellar. The rugged mountain ranges of the wild and romantic Douro Valley stretch a hundred kilometers west of the Spanish border.
This Ramos Pinto Lagrima Red is a blend of Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Cão grapes. It's a fresh, lively port with fruity aromas. The palate is very smooth and has a very long, pleasant finish. Delicious as an aperitif with tonic water or orange juice. Or enjoy it with a delicious dessert.
