5/ 5

<p>For more than 20 years, the name João Portugal Ramos has been associated with Portuguese wines, first as a consulting winemaker for well known brands of wine and since 1992 as a bottling producer.</p> <p>The success and the prizes accumulated throughout his career have earned him the national and international recognition as one of the main responsible for the evolution of the Portuguese wines in the last decade.</p> <p>The Alentejo was the region chosen to produce its first wines. In 1990, João Portugal Ramos planted the first five hectares of vineyard in Estremoz, where he has lived since 1988, starting his personal project. It expanded its activity beyond the Alentejo from 1989, reaching Ribatejo, Beiras, Douro and Vinho Verde</p>

<p></p><p>The Ermos Mountains share the landscape with the vineyards overlooking the Douro of the municipality of Freixo de Espada à Cinta, in the Upper Douro. Inserted in a unique landscape, which holds us by the way nature manifests itself. In Freixo de Espada à Cinta, land of myths and legends, is where the Douro River meets the wine, this is where the Douro begins. This beauty is naturally reflected in the Montes Ermos wines</p>

<p>On the tasting notes, the Taboadella Touriga Nacional presents an intense, deep ruby-purple color. The nose is highly aromatic and complex, bursting with concentrated notes of dark fruits (blackberry, cassis, plum), intertwined with distinctive floral notes (violet), and nuances of spice, licorice, and sometimes a hint of pine or forest floor. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful yet elegant, with firm, well-structured tannins and a vibrant acidity, leading to a long, persistent, and complex finish. This wine's robust structure and intense aromatics make it an excellent pairing for red meats, game dishes, and aged cheeses.</p>

<p><span>Quinta da Fronteira Reserva harvest of 2015 has a deep, opaque, purple ruby color with a thin cranberry cherry rim. Dark cherry, dusky blackberry, smoky cedar, licorice, and earthy crushed stone aromas. Blackberry, tart spicy plum preserves, and rich oak flavors. Full body, rich grippy wooly tannins, medium plus acidity, and a lingering tart dark fruit and oak finish. Hefty, intense, tannic. I'll revisit this one in a few years.</span></p> <p></p> <p></p>
