Port LBV 2005 Quinta da Romaneira

    Quinta da Romaneira was bought in 2004 by a group of friends including Christian Seely, who is known for his experience running the renowned Quinta do Noval. Since arriving in the Douro in the
1990s, it had been Christian‘s dream to own Quinta da Romaneira and restore the property to its former glory. The estate is situated in the Cima Corgo district, in the heart of the Douro Valley. The
superb location, along two kilometres of the Douro River, provides ideal conditions for the production of high quality wines, both dry and fortified, from local varieties. All the vineyards for the reds are classified ‘A’ Grade; aromatic white varieties are grown at high altitude for Romaneira’s delicious dry white wine.
    Deep red-black in colour, this wine is powerful and perfumed, with aromas of plums, dark cherry and a touch of tobacco on the nose. Rich and ripe on the palate it has great structure, velvety tannins and a long, spicy finish. The wine is unfiltered and will benefit from decanting.
