These grapes from our Ervamoira and Bons Ares estates were manually harvested from carefully selected vineyards. Vinification took place in granite wine pressers or stainless steel vats, depending on the plots. After trimming and pressing in a vertical press, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. For 18 months, 20% of the wine has been aged in wooden barrels, with the other 80% aged in modern one-fill wine barrel of varying capacities.

17,5 points - Duas Quintas Reserve Red 2013
Austere notes, some graffiti, fruit, bitter cocoa, a profile something closed and Dour. In the mouth WINS expression while keeping austerity, with very firm tannins. All still under construction, with lots of flavor and substance.
92 points - Duas Quintas Reserve Red 2013
A powerful dense wine that is rich and firmly structured, so it has big bold black fruit flavors that are still firmly embedded in dark tannins. It is a fine complex wine, the fruit of two of Ramos-Pinto's quintas in the Douro Superior. Keep this wine until 2018 at least. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2015, this brand was the among the first Douro still wines.
90 points - Duas Quintas Reserve Red 2013
Ripe and juicy, with concentrated flavors of Asian spice, dark plum and forest floor, supported by fresh acidity and medium-grained tannins. The creamy finish is long and rich. Drink now through 2020.
