Quinta da Ervamoira 10 Year Old Tawny Port
Description: From one of the 4 estates owned by Ramos Pinto who are renowned for their tawny ports 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.
