Urtiga Douro Denominação de Origem Controlada

The Urtiga comes from a single vineyard in the Douro Valley and brings old vines and plenty of structure to the glass. A dry red wine that combines depth and freshness.

Ramos Pinto bottles it exclusively from the Vinha da Urtiga. More than 63 indigenous grape varieties grow there on historic terraces in a traditional field blend; the vines are over 100 years old. Tinta Roriz is one of the varieties in the blend.

In the glass, the wine glows purple with red reflections. On the nose, forest notes and damp earth meet red berries and a mineral line. With a little air, green pepper and clove are added. On the palate, it feels velvety and complex, with strawberry and cherry. The longer it stands in the glass, the more volume it gains; in the end, there is a long, structured finish.

We recommend it at 16 to 18 °C, preferably decanted. It goes with braised lamb, duck breast, or mushroom dishes and mature sheep's cheese.

The Quinta

Ramos Pinto

The Ramos Pinto winery dates back to the year 1880. At that time, Adriano Ramos Pinto laid the foundation for the wine production named after him. The estate developed rapidly and achieved great fame worldwide - not least thanks to its membership in the Roederer Group.

After business in the home country of Portugal was running perfectly, they began exporting to the Brazilian market. Today, Frédéric Rouzaud manages the fortunes of the winery and thus continues the tradition of five successful generations.
