This Tawny Port is slightly less sweet than the Ruby, which is the hallmark of a Tawny Port. These are also aged longer in traditional oak "Port pipes." The Tawny is a three- to five-year-old blend, created by blending ports with varying degrees of maturity. This is the result of the aging process in various types of casks.
The philosophy of Ramos Pinto
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.
This delicious port wine boasts a beautiful bottle design and makes a wonderful gift for connoisseurs. Ramos Pinto Tawny Port comes from the expert hand of Axel Heinz, who runs the Tenuta dell'Omellaia winery according to strict principles. The winery has already made a name for itself producing excellent ports, and all its wines possess the distinctive character of the Tenuta dell'Omellaia winery. The winery is located in Tuscany, a wine-growing region predestined for exquisite ports. The Tawny Port should be decanted to experience the full pleasure of intense fruit and tenderness.
Enjoy this vibrant port from Ramos Pinto
This Tawny Port combines nuts, figs, dried fruit, and ripe red fruits such as cherries, plums, blackberries, and raspberries in its bouquet. Like the Ruby Port, which was first aged for three years in large wooden barrels, the Tawny, thanks to its subsequent maturation in smaller wooden barrels, offers refined, delicate flavors. It is very lively and velvety on the palate, with lovely spice and a dry finish.
The red-to-amber Ramos Pinto Porto Tawny is a blend of the Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão grape varieties. Discover this Tawny port from the traditional Ramos Pinto winery, for example, with smoked salmon, tomatoes stuffed with cream cheese, melon with ham, and as an aperitif, with not-too-sweet desserts, cheese variations, and bowls of fresh nuts.
