Rozes SPECIAL RESERVE RubyPort Description: In 1855, Ostende Rozes, a fine wine trader in Bordeaux, established the Rozes house. The reputation of the firm's Port wines spread due to their quality. Ostende's son, Edmond Rozes, created the Rozes Port wine brand and was largely responsible for its unique style. Here he created a special, thickset bottle, which is now the brand's symbol and emblem all over the world. After more than 120 years of family ownership, and other successive owners, the firm was acquired by Vranken Monopole in 1999. Rozes differs considerably from the English and Portuguese port wine houses. True to their Bordeaux heritage, Rozes Port wines are elegant, complex and balanced, less fruity and tannic than those of the English style and more generous and richer than those of the Portuguese producers. Produced in the oldest AOC of all, Quinta de Monsul, the Rozes estate in the Douro, allows complete control of pressing, storing and ageing, right from the harvest. The grapes are selected from amongst the very best vineyards in the Douro valley, while the reputation of the Rozes name means that there is a dedicated commitment to express all of the intensity, richness and complexity of each varietal. With the benefit of six years in oak, Rozes Special Reserve is a rich wine with a distinctively smooth Tawny character. Excellent intensity, with orange and amber nuances over a dominant brick colour this Port has excellent concentration of flavours on the nose, including ripe and generous characters of cherry, caramel, liquorice and pepper. A traditional Tawnyport clearly showing signs of wood ageing while it is racy and poised, as well as round with a smooth finish. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £67.29

Quinta da Ervamoira 10 Year Old TawnyPort Description: From one of the 4 estates owned by Ramos Pinto who are renowned for their tawnyports comes this rich and candied yet deliciously fresh Port with some toasty complexity. A 10 year Tawny that is an orange, red, tawny colour with ruby nuances, though it is showing clearly the action of time. The fruit aromas of orange, apricot, plum, are enhanced by the wood aromas of vanilla and old Port cask, while the smooth and full-bodied palate is both fresh and smooth giving way to a light acid and woody note. In 1974, Jose Antonio Ramos Pinto Rosas, the then Chairman of Casa Ramos Pinto, was persistently looking for an quinta 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. Having studied military maps, he found and bought the Quinta de Santa Maria, re-christened as Quinta de Ervamoira, which would become a model quinta in the whole of the Douro region. Two years later, with the help of his nephew Joao Nicolau de Almeida, Jose Rosas embarked on the project to study and select the five best varieties and to work only on the material selected, taking into account not only Port Wine but also Still Wine. This joint work made Ervamoira a pilot project, the first Quinta in the Douro to be planted vertically and by fields. The Quinta de Ervamoira is located in the Douro region, sub-region of the Upper Douro, in the parish of Muxagata, Vila Nova de Foz Caa. With a total surface area of 200 hectares and with altitudes which vary between 110 and 340 metres, this quinta has 150 ha of vines with approximately 450 000 vine stalks planted, of an average age of 15 years old. In Ervamoira, the vertical form of planting has been exclusively used. Only 10% of the varieties produced there are white. Of the remaining 90%, 16% belong to the Tinta Barroca variety, 23% to Touriga Nacional, 13% to Touriga Francesa, 13% to Tinta Roriz, 10% to Tinta da Barca and a further 15% are a mixture.
