Ramos Reserva 2021
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
This hand-crafted wine is a blend of native Alentejo grapes Trincadeira and Aragonez plus a
touch of Syrah for added body. The fruit is sourced from 1,000 ft high schist and limestone
vineyards surrounding the J Portugal Ramos Vila Santa winery. Unoaked, it is fresh and fruity
while maintaining a plush mouthfeel.
