Ravasqueira launches Vinha das Romãs Red 2021 

The 2021 edition of one of the brand’s most iconic wines hits the market. A unique, very special Alentejo wine that continues to challenge its most loyal consumers and that falls in love with anyone who tastes it. 

The harvest ends, the first autumn rains arrive and Ravasqueira launches another edition of Vinha das Romãs Red (2021 harvest). One of the brand’s best-known and most anticipated wines, whose history has taken root in the minds of consumers. At the site, in Arraiolos, where the plot was planted in 2002, there was a pomegranate orchard. In these 7.5 hectares of unique soil, designed for the practice of precision viticulture, strains of Touriga Franca and Syrah were planted, whose roots were intertwined with those of the pomegranate trees that remained there to enrich the soil. Thus, years later, Vinha das Romãs Red was born, a blend with a special profile that is recognized and widely appreciated by the most demanding consumer market. Always with the same promise of quality and the same two grape varieties, from the same location. The percentage varies over time, but tradition and excellence remain. 

With a recommended RRP of 20 Euros, Vinha das Romãs Red 2021, whose batch of Touriga Franca and Syrah spent around 20 months in new French Oak barrels, presents «the usual dense dark red and opaque color; Reserved nose, at first, then complex with black fruits, cedar, forest fruits, pennyroyal, mix of spices and cardamom. The taste is fleshy, solid and growing tannins, but fine and elegant in the end. Lots of freshness, with a mineral and granite finish». This is said by David Baverstock, Chief Winemaker at Ravasqueira, who emphasizes that «it is a pleasure to present another vintage of Vinha das Romãs Red. A unique wine that national and international critics appreciate and which, year after year, continues to prove its consistency and quality as an icon of Portugal and Alentejo». 

In addition to the recognition from consumers, due to its uniqueness, Vinha das Romãs has been repeated on the list of winners in international competitions. Remember that the previous edition was ‘Revelação’ – the highest scoring Portuguese wine in the Brussels World Competition.
