Later, Fonseca was acquired by the Guimaraerns family, who spent over a century building Fonseca's reputation and shaping its current reputation.

Its major advantage, however, is that it can be served directly from the bottle and has a longer shelf life. This beautiful and unique port is made from Tinta Barocca, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional, three grapes perfectly suited for hot port production. The vineyards for this port are located on the slopes of the Douro Valley, enjoying very sunny locations. Due to the warm daytime temperatures, it's important that the vineyards are also cooled. This cooling comes from the nights and the wind that blows through the valley. The Bin 27 is a port specially crafted for the Vintage lover. A Vintage Port is quite expensive, so it's not always easy to open a bottle. Furthermore, a Vintage Port must always be decanted and consumed within two days. To broaden the market, Fonseca developed this exceptional port. The characteristic youthfulness of the Vintage is clearly recognisable here, but also the ease of a beautiful Ruby port.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eWhat does this Bin 27 Reserve Port taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e But what flavors does this Bin 27 Reserve Port Fonseca offer?

It owns four vineyards in the Douro wine region: Quintas do Bom Retiro and da Urtiga, traditional vineyards in the heart of the Douro Valley, for refinement and sophistication; Quinta dos Bons Ares, one of the most modern vineyards in the Douro Superior, for a fresh and vibrant note; and finally, Quinta de Ervamoira, located in the Côa Valley, for structure, robustness, and intense fruit. The grapes for Ramos Pinto wines come from all these vineyards.\n\n\n \nRamos Pinto stands for ports of outstanding quality. The artistically exquisite labels also reflect the commitment of this traditional winery to the art of winemaking.\n\n\n\n The wines are made at the Ramos Pinto Quinta do Bom Retiro winery. For LBV and Vintage Port, the grapes are processed using the traditional lagering method (a stone press trough formerly used for foot pressing). This traditional technique allows for the juice to be extracted from the grapes with exceptional efficiency and care.

The Fonseca Ruby Port blend originates from the Baixo Corgo and Cima Corgo regions of the Douro Valley. Here, the wonderful, warm climate allows the grapes to mature in peace. Furthermore, the delightful breeze that blows through the valley contributes to the necessary cooling of the grapes, creating a balanced growing season for all the varieties. When the grapes are ripe, they are harvested individually by hand and verified, after which all wines are aged in oak.

These are aged for between four and six years in oak barrels, after which they are bottled. This Fonseca Late Bottled is aged for five years in oak barrels. The bottle always indicates the vintage year and the year of bottling. However, before bottling can take place, a lot of work needs to be done in the vineyards.

For example, extensive pruning is required to ensure the bunches receive as much sunlight as possible. When the winemaker has decided the grapes have reached perfect ripeness, each varietal is harvested and pressed separately. Yes, that pressing—that's still a special thing about Dow's. This pressing is best when the grapes are crushed very evenly. A very good, but intensive, method was invented for this long ago. Dow's is one of the few that still uses this method and also wants to keep it instant. However, this requires a lot of manpower, as the grapes are all crushed with (naturally clean) bare feet. All the men and\/or women stand in a large container and hold each other by the shoulders. At a leisurely pace, all the grapes are carefully crushed, allowing the finest juice to flow directly into the tanks.

This centuries-old tradition is held in high regard at Dow's. And the winemaker explains that it makes a significant difference because the pressing is so much more even.

In a very short time, the house became known for its innovation and entrepreneurial spirit, guaranteeing high-quality port. These elements ensured that Pinto was responsible for half of all wine exports to South America at the beginning of the 20th century. To this day, innovation and the use of new techniques remain paramount. Significant attention is also paid to the port's aesthetics, with labels regularly designed by international artists. Ramos Pinto owns the vineyards of do Bom Retiro, da Urtiga, dos Bons Ares, and da Ervamoira, totaling approximately 360 hectares. It is quite remarkable for a producer to manage so many vineyards themselves. However, this also means that Ramos Pinto has considerable control over the quality of the grapes.\n\n\n \nThe wines are made at the Ramos Pinto Quinta do Bom Retiro winery. For LBV and Vintage Port, the grapes are processed using the traditional lagering method (a stone press trough formerly used for foot pressing). This traditional technique allows for the juice to be extracted from the grapes with exceptional efficiency and care. After the initial winemaking process, the wines are transported to the historic cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, where they undergo a long aging process.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The refined and intense aromas of Adriano Reserva\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Adriano Reserva's color is dark golden yellow, which changes to amber with age.

Its long history began in 1798 when Bruno da Silva, a Portuguese merchant from Porto, embarked on a journey that reversed that of the early British merchants. Bruno settled in London, from where he imported wine from his native country. He married an Englishwoman and quickly became part of London society, where his business acumen led to a strong reputation for his ports. Today, Great Britain remains one of the largest export countries for Dow's Port. This memorable house has also established a strong presence in the Netherlands.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What exactly is a Late Bottled Vintage Port? \u003c\/h2\u003eWe're often asked what exactly constitutes a Late Bottled Vintage Port. Well, that's actually quite simple. The grapes for this port come from a single harvest year. However, unlike a Vintage Port, a Late Bottled Vintage is a blend of different Ports from that year. These are aged for between four and six years in oak barrels, after which they are bottled. The bottle always indicates the vintage year and the year of bottling. However, before bottling can take place, a lot of work needs to be done in the vineyards. This red port is made from five different grape varieties: Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinita Barocca, and Tinta Cão. These grapes grow on old vines, ensuring excellent quality. The vineyards are selected by Dow's Port's winemaker, and a great deal of care is taken! The best bunches are picked by hand when they are optimally ripe, and each one is transported in small crates to prevent damage.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003ePure class through many hours of work in the vineyards\u003c\/h2\u003e The five different grape varieties for this Dow's Late Bottled Vintage all grow on beautiful vines. The average age of each plant is around 25 years. Extensive pruning is required in the vineyards to provide all the grapes with the right amount of sun and warmth, while also ensuring sufficient cooling from shade and wind. Therefore, the way the vines are planted is crucial. Once the various varieties have reached the correct and perfect ripeness, the harvest begins. Each grape variety is brought separately to the winery and then pressed—a unique and authentic way to extract the juice.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does this Late Bottled Vintage from Dow's taste like? \u003c\/h2\u003eYes, that pressing—that's still something special about Dow's. This pressing works best when the grapes are crushed very evenly. A very good, yet intensive, method was invented for this long ago. Dow's is one of the few that still uses this method and also wants to keep it instant. However, this requires a lot of manpower, as the grapes are all crushed with (naturally clean) bare feet. All the men and\/or women stand in a large container and hold each other by the shoulders. At a leisurely pace, all the grapes are gently crushed, with the finest juice flowing straight into the tanks. Because there are fewer and fewer men and women practicing this craft, Dow's has developed a machine that can gradually take over this method in the future. But as long as it's not necessary, they will use it as little as possible. After this intense effort in pressing and blending, the Dow's Late Bottled Vintage is finally ready to be tasted. The color is a beautiful ruby ​​red with a lovely brown rim. The nose reveals elegant aromas of ripe fruit and spices. Not just any port, then. The flavor is full and complex with a mild, pleasantly sweet finish. This delicious port is perfect for serving with dark chocolate or aged hard cheeses.","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775757291599,"sku":"4823","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/dow-s-late-bottled-vintage-port-lbv_4823.webp?v=1770046304"},{"product_id":"duas-quintas-ramos-pinto-tinto","title":"Duas Quintas Ramos Pinto Tinto","description":"This red wine from the Port house Ramos Pinto is truly special! 20% of the harvest is aged in oak barrels for approximately 12 months.

It owns four vineyards in the Douro wine region: Quintas do Bom Retiro and da Urtiga, traditional vineyards in the heart of the Douro Valley, for refinement and sophistication; Quinta dos Bons Ares, one of the most modern vineyards in the Douro Superior, for a fresh and vibrant note; and finally, Quinta de Ervamoira, located in the Côa Valley, for structure, robustness, and intense fruit. The grapes for Ramos Pinto wines come from all these vineyards.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are hand-picked and transported in 150-kilogram crates. They are then pressed, destemmed, and fermented in steel vats at a maximum temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. The maceration is just long enough to give the wine the desired body and structure. After fermentation, twenty percent of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for twelve months; the rest remains in the steel vats. The wine is bottled 18 months later.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does the Duas Quintas Ramos Pinto Tinto taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Ramos Pinto Duas Quintas Tinto gleams dark purple in the glass.

The 50-hectare Quinta dos Bons Ares, at approximately 650 meters above sea level, is cooler and slightly wetter than Quinta da Ervamoira, offering unique conditions for red wine production. Therefore, a new, modern cellar with temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation tanks and a cool, humid wooden barrel cellar was built here. The rugged mountain ranges of the wild and romantic Douro Valley stretch for a hundred kilometers west of the Spanish border.\n\n\n\n The grapes are harvested by hand, and after immediate pressing, a cold maceration phase follows.
