100% Ramisco Non-Vintage

Description

Ageing:

The lotes from 2018 and 2019 were aged in used in French oak barriques until February 2022, when it was blended with the lote from 2021 which had aged in stainless steel tank. The finished blend then spent a further year and a half in stainless steel before bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Our second Ramsico, a ‘Non-Vintage’ blend from 2018, 2019 and 2021. Complex red fruits and an earthy elegant perfume that jostles for space with a hint of more herbal aromas. Naturally high acidity and commanding tannins all woven together by an underlying salinity. With less than half a hectare of Ramisco planted, we are so proud, that even in tiny quantities, we are working with native grapes so integral to Lisbon’s winemaking history.
