Ramos Pinto 10yr Tawny

This Tawny is a blend aged for ten years, showing beautiful complexity body, and richness. Made with quality at the heart of its production, blended from a multitude of blends from different years. The newer wines give it a lovely robust quality while the older wines gift it complexity and a sense of history. 

Orange red in colour. The aromas are rich and rounded with a slight vinous quality.  Aromas of orange, apricot and plum. These are backed up by vanilla and cask notes. As a tawny it leans more to the fruity side of the palate. The quality is clearly perceptible in its balance of freshness, alcohol and fruit.

In 1880 Ramos Pinto brought a new era to the region. Innovation and pioneerism are adjectives that are at the heart of the House of Ramos Pinto and their history.

In 1974, José António Ramos Pinto Rosas, the then Chairman of Casa Ramos Pinto, was persistently looking for an estate on fairly flat land that would allow for mechanisation, as already at that time the lack of and the high cost of labour was being felt in the Douro and he bought the Quinta de Santa Maria, re-christened as Quinta de Ervamoira, which would become a model estate in the whole of the Douro region because he made from it, the first Quinta in the Douro to be planted vertically and by fields. Each field would grow a different variety, thus putting an end to the mixture of varieties in the vineyards. 

Respecting a tradition as old as its own history, Casa Ramos Pinto continued to give importance to the cultural aspects of the history of the Quinta de Ervamoira. It invested in the creation of an on-site museum for the public which was inaugurated in 1997. With the decision taken by UNESCO to give the Vale do Côa etchings the status of Heritage of Mankind, the Quinta de Ervamoira was given the privilege of becoming the first wine producing estate to use the title of Heritage of Mankind.
