LBV Ramos Pinto is an unfiltered wine fermented in the lagar, thus preserving the promise of the expressive fruit as well as its great ageing potential.

The grapes from our Quintas of Ervamoira and Bom Retiro are harvested by hand in small containers and taken to the lagar to be crushed by foot. Fermentation lasts from 3 to 5 days, producing a wine with excellent extract. The wine is then aged in Vila Nova de Gaia, in wooden vats of approximately 15,000 litres. The blend was made in May 2019 and bottled in October of the same year. This is a traditional LBV which is left unfiltered and unfined to preserve all the existing fruit and its great ageing potential.

Food Pairing: Goes well with game dishes, red meat, cheese soufflé, Serra cheese or other fatty cheeses and chocolate desserts.
