Monte da Ravasqueira "Vinha das Romãs"

Considered one of the best wines of the World by Wine Enthusiast, Monte da Ravasqueira "Vinha das Romãs" (Vineyard of the Pomegranates) also holds a very particular history.

The Vineyard of the Pomegranates is the result of a story that began in 2002 when the place where there was an orchard of pomegranates, gave rise to the planting of a vineyard. Over the years the vineyard has been rooted and has given rise to a wine with a very particular structure.
It was only when they studied the soil in detail that they discovered the origin of so much personality and texture. The roots of the new Vine of the Pomegranates were intertwined with the roots of the pomegranates that were there to enrich the soil. What remains of the roots of the pomegranates made this vineyard very special because of the impact they had on the soil. It is in this way that this Single vineyard stands out with a very particular profile, having adopted the name of the vine from which it comes and becoming one of the most appreciated and consensual wines of Monte da Ravasqueira.

With a long stage in French oak barrels, this wine shows the elegance of the Syrah and Touriga Franca varieties, from small plots of an area of ​​five hectares within the Vines of the Pomegranates.

It is a wine that represents, in full, the use of precision viticulture, a technique that seeks to know the particularities of the grapes, field to line, strain the strain, thus discovering the best destination for each grape.
