Vinification:
The grapes were crushed using traditional treading in the new stainless steel presses of our new winery. Fermentation took place at a temperature of 28°C, with disciplined and intense treading, which greatly contributed to the excellent final result.
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.
