Ramilo Vinhas Velhas Tinto

40-year-old vines, with spontaneous fermentation in stone Lagares. Pale garnet red in colour. The bouquet is elegant, showing fruit and fresh aromas. The palate brings freshness and minerality, floral notes are present. The finish captures the red fruit perfectly. Long and smooth on the finish.

Great-grandfather, Manuel Francisco Ramilo, who, in the early twentieth century, devoted much of its land area to wine production. Time and the hardness of the vineyard’s works in the region led the following generations to focus the family business on distribution and marketing of wines from other regions. Four generations later, unwilling to accept the abandonment of local traditions, brothers Pedro and Nuno Ramilo left their confortable lives to embrace a family business of four generations. The task was huge, but they had no doubts on the way to go. They strongly believed their future laid in their ancestors’ roots, hidden in the Lizandro River slopes and in the sandy properties of Colares, among the terraces and ancient stone walls of the old family vineyards. They rebuilt the family estates, saved old vines and planted new ones. The brothers are now on the verge of becoming the largest private producer of the world famous Ramisco from Colares.
