A fresh, perfumed Garnacha with crunchy red fruit and touch of earth, black pepper and clove.
Rafael Cambra is a small producer located in the inland area of Valencia. His vineyards are situated in Serra de l'Ombria, on clayey-calcareous soils at 750 meters above sea level, with the influence of the Mediterranean climate.
Rafael Cambra's philosophy is to work in the vineyard in an organic way, and with maximum respect for the surroundings, to produce great wines with a marked varietal character and with minimum intervention in the winery.
Wine is fermented in stainless steel, with 10% stems. It is gently pumped over for around 12 days. The wine then spends four months in 1-5 year old French oak barriques, it is then transferred to concrete before bottling.
The wines of Quinta da Romaneira always have an aromatic intensity that is particular to this great vineyard terroir. This 2017 vintage port wine is seductive, charming and wonderfully expressive, with serious depth and ageing potential.
Deep dark ruby-purple color with intense spicy aromatic personality. Great elegance, pure fruit flavors, fleshy velvety tannins, great power and length and very long finish.
