Ramos Pinto's Quinta de Ervamoira parcels are located at the heart of Douro winegrowing region, planted to schist soils at very low altitudes, within a hot and dry mesoclime that's ideal for the torrid Spanish varietals. At a slightly higher altitude, planted to more granitic soils are the Quinta dos Bons Ares vines, where grapes can slowly ripen and concentrate their flavours, under the influence of fresh prevailing winds which contribute great vitality and intensity to the fruit. Duas Quintas is an assemblage of components from slightly differing terroirs and microclimates, careful assemblage of all parts is central to achieving a compex, fruit driven yet masculine red wine.
