Ramos Pinto : Quinta de Ervamoira Vintage 2020

A fresh and complex Duriense wine

The estate

In 1880, the Ramos House was founded by Adriano Ramos Pinto. Driven by the will to produce fine Portuguese wines, Ramos Pinto instilled a strict quality strategy from the very beginning, from the vineyard to the cellar. To achieve his goal, he relies on an exceptional terroir by investing in the Douro Valley’s finest vineyards, located in the Duriense region in north-west Portugal. While each vineyard has its own distinctive features, they all contribute to the definition of Ramos Pinto's elegant, fruity and complex style.
