Duas Quintas Tinto

Ramos Pintos “still” wine (what they call a regular non-port wine in the valley) is a class leader taken from their two vineyards (hence the name) in the Duoro Superior. It uses the grapes found in their port wine, Touriga Franca (40%), Tinta Roriz (40%) and Touriga Nacional (20%). Tinta Roriz is the Portuguese name for Tempranillo. Hand picked, with only 20% of the wine going in oak with the rest of the wine kept in stainless steel until the wine in oak has aged for 18 months, then mixed back together and bottled.
