Style & Vinification Techniques
The wines of Ramos Pinto tend to be on the elegant and softer side. All grapes are crushed and fermented at the Quinta do Bom Retiro. Grapes for the Late-Bottled Vintage, Single Quinta Vintage, and Vintage Port are still crushed by foot and fermented in traditional granite lagares.
