More questions
Adriano Ramos Pinto's Ruby Porto is a classic example of a fortified wine, appreciated for its aromatic richness and versatility. Originating from the renowned wine region of the Douro Valley in Portugal, this Porto is the result of a meticulous selection of native grapes, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Barroca.
Its intense and deep color, ranging from ruby red to violet, foreshadows the complexity of its aromas. On the nose, Adriano Ramos Pinto's Ruby Porto offers a rich olfactory palette, with predominant notes of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, enhanced by hints of chocolate and sweet spices. This wine is distinguished by its balanced sweetness, supported by a well-integrated tannic structure that contributes to a persistent and velvety finish.
The vinification follows the traditional methods of Porto wines, with fermentation halted by the addition of wine alcohol to preserve some of the grapes' natural sugar. Subsequently, Adriano Ramos Pinto's Ruby Porto ages in large wooden barrels for a period ranging from three to five years, allowing the wine to develop a harmonious balance between youth and maturity.
Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with blue cheeses, chocolate desserts, or simply as a meditation wine at the end of a meal. Serve slightly chilled, between 14 and 16 degrees Celsius, to enhance all its flavors and aromas. Each sip of this Porto is a tribute to the rich heritage and winemaking mastery of Adriano Ramos Pinto, promising to elevate any occasion with its distinctive and inviting character.

The story
Founded in 1880 by Adriano Ramos Pinto, the house grew rapidly thanks to innovative commercial and viticultural choices. During the 20th century Ramos Pinto acquired its own estates to control grape quality: Quinta do Bom Retiro was purchased in 1919, and later Quinta da Urtiga, Quinta de Ervamoira and Quinta dos Bons Ares became part of its holdings. Since 1990 the property has been part of the Champagne Louis Roederer group, while retaining technical management linked to the family and a strong Douro identity.
Ageing
Ageing in oak casks and large casks (foudres) with subsequent assemblages and maturation in the historic cellars; for Tawny styles there is selection of wines and long ageing in wood prior to blending.
