Ramos Pinto, 10 Year Old Tawny Port.

This tawny is a blend with an average age of 10 years. We are now entering the complex world of an aged tawny. Its brick-red, even golden shades transport us to the Orient of spices, piquant and exotic aromas, with all its mysteries. This is where the magical path towards the 20 Years and the 30 Years begins. Its body and its richness of flavour transport us to the place where it was created - "Quinta de Ervamoira". It is in this mystical, biblical landscape that this wine is extracted from the schist, from the silence, for our delight.

Grape Varieties: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Francesa.

Wine Making: Made with high quality wines from Quinta de Ervamoira by blending of wines from harvests from different years. The new wines give it the vigour and freshness and the older wines, complexity and pedigree. The characteristic `nose´ and palate are a result of the `art´ of the Master of the Tasting Room.

Colour: Red Tawny, orange coloured with a touch of green.

Nose: Rounded, generous, with a light, balanced, vinous touch. Wood aromas: vanilla and old Port casks. It is of the fruity, tawny type.

Palate: Smooth and full bodied on the palate. From an initial unctuousness, there appears a fresh, soft fruit, finishing with a light, acidic, woody note.

After Taste: The fresh fruit is still noticeable, entangled in the aging process in wood. Good structure and a perfect balance between fruit and alcohol.

Food Matching: Chilled, as an aperitif. With desserts whose base is dried fruit and orange and egg sweets.
