About this winery

In 1757, vines were already planted in Romaneira, a name inspired by the abundance of rosemary in this magnificent and warm region bordering the Douro. A wine from the estate was auctioned off by the famous Christie's house in 1872, an indication of the status that the name Romaneira had acquired over the years!

Tasting notes

A profound, powerful colour emanates strength. Expressive aromas of wild berries and violets are complemented by subtle peppery and chocolate notes. The pronounced woody aromas are supported by a sturdy tannic backbone. This expressive varietal wine is poised for extended bottle aging. Pairings with Lamb and Rib Steak

James Suckling, August 2023 (Vintage 2020)

Roger Voss, January 2025 (Vintage 2020)
