Ramos Pinto Collector

Grape varieties: Old Vines.

Vinification: A five-year-old bouquet created from various young blends. The must is fermented by maceration and automatic pumping over for better extraction. After four or five days, fermentation is stopped with the addition of 20% brandy. Finally, the wine is racked. It does not undergo any hot or cold treatment or filtration.

Tasting notes: The pale red rim around the glass is the only visible sign of maturity. The initially opaque core evolves into a translucent dark red and ends with an intense red at the bottom of the glass. Its aromatic characteristics are vintage-like due to the power of its dominant, dense fruit, revealing incredibly ripe aromas of dried plum, fig, blackberry, raspberry and cherry. The attack is smooth and on the palate there is a sensation of full, balanced sweetness. Its ripe fruit reveals itself deliciously, highlighting the more volatile and developed retro nasal aromas. Its persistence is remarkable.

Recommendation: Serve between 16º and 18º C. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry and dark place.

Food pairing: Pairs perfectly with chocolates and medium-bodied cheeses. It is also an excellent accompaniment to wild game dishes, especially duck. It can accompany red fruit-based desserts or a mille-feuille of fresh cheese and ham.
