Vinification:
The grapes were crushed using traditional treading and vinified in stainless steel vats. The fermentation temperature ranged between 25 and 28 degrees centigrade.
Romaneira is one of the greatest and most historic estates in the Douro, being among the three or four largest estates in the region. The property is quite extensive, being flanked for about two kilometers by the river Douro. The best Douro wines are produced from grapes cultivated either on the banks of the Douro river or its tributaries. The red grape varieties of Romaneira come exactly from vines located by the river.
