Ramos Pinto, 1927

Garrafeira Port, DOC Douro

Description and Reviews:
The 1927 Garrafeira port from Ramos Pinto is a rare, elegant style of Port made from the grapes of a single harvest, like a Colheita and therefore has a vintage date on the bottle. But "Garrafeira" is its own special category and unique ageing regime.

After aging in wood for three to six years the wine is transferred to glass demijohns ("bon bons") which can vary from seven to eleven litres apiece, and the ageing process continues in glass. This type of aging adds a unique character known as "cheiro has garrafa" (translates to: savour or essence of the bottle) which is derived from prolonged direct contact with the glass demijohns. Further aging in the demijohns, sometimes for well over 50 years helps to produce a seamless, smooth Port that is delicate, fresh and possesses great finesse.
