DESCRIPTION:
The Douro Valley, long known as one of the great viticultural regions of the world for its Port wines, which have never been better than they are today, is also in the process of re-inventing itself as a producer of great unfortified wines. Romaneira is at the forefront of this revolution: these wines, with their wild Douro aromas, their exuberant fruit, allied with their old world subtlety and finesse, are among the most thrilling discoveries that a wine lover can make today.
TASTING NOTES:
“It’s the kind of light, elegant wine that, makes the powerfully extracted Douro reds seem heavy and ponderous by comparison. It’s stemmy and gamey…and more vibrant.” (Joshua Greene, April 2014
