2021 Sino da Romaneira, Quinta da Romaneira
Duoro, Portugal
The wine presents a lively red colour. Fresh and elegant with seductive fruit, balanced and engaging with soft tannins, characteristic of this wine, which express the beauty of the Quinta da Romaneira’s wild flora.
The grapes for the Sino are sourced from various sites within the quinta, with a preponderance of Touriga Francesa and Tinta Roriz. The soils at Quinta da Romaneira are predominantly schist, with a laminated structure that facilitates drainage and allows the vine roots to penetrate deeply to reach nutrients and moisture. This type of soil is poor in organic matter, which promotes low yields per vine, favouring high quality grapes. The steep slope of the slopes also contributes to excellent sun exposure, ideal for the ripening of the grapes.

Established in 1757, Romaneira is one of the largest estates on the region, with a total of 412 ha and 3 km of river frontage on the river Douro, of which 86 ha are planted. The vineyards are planted on terraces on the steeply sloping hills of the property: with many valleys and promontories, Romaneira contains several microclimates and various slopes with differing exposures. All of the wines are made exclusively from grapes from the estate’s vineyards, a distinctive characteristic of Quinta da Romaneira wines. In 2004, Christian Seely turns his dream into reality, bringing together a group of investors to acquire Romaneira and since 2012 Andre Esteve has been Christian’s sole partner Romaneira has benefitted from very extensive renovation, rebuilding and replanting. A new winery was built in 2005, the long dreamed of opportunity of Christian Seely and the original winemaker Antonio Agrellos, now succeeded by his nephew Carlos, to construct the ideal modern and technical winery in the Douro Valley, starting from scratch allowing the estate to produce wines of the highest quality.
The wine was vinified in conical temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 25/28ºC using selected yeasts with pumping over. Malolactic fermentation followed also in stainless steel tanks. Then all of the wine was aged in used 225 l. French oak barrels for 10 months.
