The history of Ramos Pinto

Adriano Ramos Pinto founded the house in eighteen eighty for the distant market in Brazil. Today the estate belongs to the Louis Roederer group and stands for lasting success. The winemakers’ knowledge has been growing for over a hundred years in every cool cellar. This strength secures the high standard for every bottle of wine.

Regional treasures from Ramos Pinto

The slate in the soil stores the sun’s heat for the cool nights on the River Douro. This warmth ensures a high ripeness of the grapes on the steep slopes. The roots penetrate deep into the hard rock in search of water and nutrients. This brings a fine minerality to the glass for discerning palates.

These facts distinguish the company’s work:

1. The house owns all the vineyards for harvesting the grapes itself.

2. Hand-picking guarantees high quality of the fruit in the cool cellar.

3. Long maturation in wood gives the wine a soft texture.

4. The art on the labels shapes the brand’s image worldwide.

The grape varieties at Ramos Pinto

Ramos Pinto has conducted intensive research on the best varieties for Portugal’s Douro Valley. Five types are at the center of the work for the perfect Port wine. This selection determines the density and brilliance of the red wines. We offer you this diversity for your enjoyment in the evening.

These varieties shape the aroma of the wines:

• Touriga Nacional forms the firm backbone for the dark color.

• Touriga Franca gives the wine a delicate aroma of wild flowers.

• Tinta Roriz strengthens the structure and the ageing time in the cellar.

• Tinta Barroca makes the taste soft and pleasantly rounded.

• Tinto Cão gives the wine a lively freshness through acidity.
