Ramos Pinto 20 year old Tawny 50cl

Notes - The Casa Ramos Pinto Port Wines are prepared in the modern vinification centres at the Quinta dos Bons Ares and the Quinta do Bom Retiro, but in the case of special category wines (LBV, Vintage and wines indicating their age) the grapes are trodden in the traditional wine cellars as this age-old technique allows for the juice of the fruit to be extracted more efficiently and less violently. After having concluded the first steps of vinification, the wines are transported to the historical wine cellars at Vila Nova de Gaia, where they undergo a long ageing process. A blend with an average age of 20 years, made from a selection of several lots originating in one of the oldest vineyards in the Douro region - "Quinta do Bom Retiro".The ageing and maturing experience in the wood change its colour. The red shades give place to brick and yellow colours, to the tones of a sunset.It is an oenological creation from several different lots. Wines are easy to match when they are young but as they grow older the matching process becomes more difficult. Greater knowledge and fine tuning from both sides is required so that, over time, a perfect and long-lasting harmony is reached. Just as it happens with people. It is a fine wine to drink at the end of the meal, to accompany desserts like Portuguese egg puddings, orange puddings, nuts, dried fruits, crème caramel and dried fruit ice-creams. It is a classic Tawny.
