The Ramos-Pinto Superior Tawny is a deep brick-red color gained from its extended sojourn in oak. Intense fruit aromas greet the nose, with full secondary aromas evident. The first impression is light and hot, evolving into a rich, smoothness gained from wood aging. Ready to drink upon release, this is a well-matured port, fruity, with a fine flavored, dry finish.

Wine maker notes

Ramos-Pinto’s wood-aged ports are blended from several vintages and several quintas. After fermentation, the wines make the voyage down the Douro River to Vila Nove de Gaia, where they are aged in wood casks for three to seven years before being bottled and shipped.

Food pairing

The Ramos-Pinto Tawny should be drunk cool in warm weather, at room temperature in cooler climates. Wonderful as an aperitif or with a not too sweet dessert. Exquisite with melons or Rocquefort cheese.
