Ramos Pinto Quinta de Ervamoira 10 Years Tawny Port, Portugal

Ramos Pinto Quinta de Ervamoira 10 Years laat mooi zien waarom gerijpte tawny port zo aantrekkelijk is: deze wijn combineert afgeronde rijpingstonen met nog altijd herkenbaar fruit en opvallend veel balans. De blend heeft een gemiddelde leeftijd van 10 jaar en is nauw verbonden aan Quinta de Ervamoira, een herkomst die binnen Ramos Pinto bekendstaat om concentratie, structuur en precisie. Dat levert een tawny op met diepte, souplesse en een heel verzorgd, klassiek profiel.

Wijngaarden en regio

De herkomst van deze tawny ligt in een van de meest markante delen van de Douro.

  • Ligging / Herkomst: Quinta de Ervamoira ligt in de Douro Superior, op de linkeroever van de Douro bij de plek waar de Côa in de rivier uitkomt. Dat is een warm en droog deel van de Douro waar druiven veel rijpheid en concentratie kunnen opbouwen.
  • Hoogte: Het domein omvat 223 ha en strekt zich uit van 110 tot 340 m hoogte. Die spreiding geeft Ramos Pinto veel ruimte om verschillende percelen en rijpingsniveaus in de blend te verwerken.
  • Bodem: De wijngaarden zijn aangeplant op schist, de klassieke ondergrond van grote Douro-wijnen. Die bodem houdt warmte vast en draagt bij aan de structuur en intensiteit van het fruit.
  • Klimaat & invloeden: Douro Superior kent zeer hete, droge zomers en koude winters, met weinig neerslag over het jaar. Dat zorgt voor kleine, geconcentreerde druiven met veel smaak.
  • Wijngaard: Op Quinta de Ervamoira staan de wijnstokken verticaal aangeplant in plaats van op de gebruikelijke horizontale terrassen. Die ruimere afstand tussen de stokken geeft minder fruit per plant en meer concentratie in het uiteindelijke fruit.

Vinificatie en rijping

De opbouw van deze tawny draait volledig om de kunst van blenden en laten rijpen.

  • Vinificatie: Deze tawny wordt samengesteld uit hoogwaardige wijnen van Quinta de Ervamoira, waarbij verschillende oogstjaren samenkomen in 1 blend. De jongere componenten houden de wijn stevig en fris, terwijl de oudere delen extra gelaagdheid en die typische gerijpte tawny-complexiteit toevoegen.
  • Rijping / Houtopvoeding: Juist die langere rijping zorgt voor meer afronding, een zachtere textuur en meer diepte in geur en smaak. Daardoor ontstaat een mooie balans tussen fruit, houtinvloed en de warme stijl die bij tawny hoort.
  • Alcoholpercentage: Met 19,5% alcohol heeft deze port de warmte en draagkracht die passen bij een serieuze 10 years old tawny, terwijl de wijn mooi in evenwicht blijft.

Druivensamenstelling

De blend is opgebouwd uit klassieke Douro-rassen die uitstekend werken in gerijpte tawny port.

  • Touriga Nacional – Douro: Touriga Nacional geeft de blend extra diepte en aromatische intensiteit.
  • Touriga Francesa – Douro: Touriga Francesa brengt souplesse en helpt de wijn elegant over het palet te lopen.
  • Tinto Cão – Douro: Tinto Cão ondersteunt de structuur en draagt bij aan de frisse lijn in de blend.
  • Tinta Barroca – Douro: Tinta Barroca geeft extra ronding en rijp fruit aan het geheel.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Oranjerood in het glas, met een lichte groenige toets die mooi past bij zijn gerijpte stijl. In de neus opent hij rond en genereus, met aroma’s van sinaasappel, abrikoos, pruim, vanille en oude portvaten. In de mond blijft het fruit nog duidelijk aanwezig, gedragen door goede structuur en een mooie balans tussen fruit, alcohol en een frisse finale.

  • Serveertemperatuur: 14–18 °C werkt hier het best, omdat dat bereik zowel de aromatische diepte als de balans tussen fruit, warmte en rijping mooi laat uitkomen.
  • Gerechten: Wildgerechten, kaassoufflé, Serra en andere romige, vettere kazen, plus chocoladedesserts sluiten hier bijzonder goed op aan.

Wright is right
The fact Wright attacks popular concepts of progress is enough to merit five stars. Until 1955, when I was 25, I naively believed progress was inevitable, natural, and simply a part of human nature and society. I attended the Earl Lectures that year. Swiss Theologian Emil Brunner presented three addresses on "Faith, Hope, and Love" at Berkeley, California. Westminster Press published his series in a book given the same title. I shall quote a few remarks. Brunner traced the burgioning faith in progress to the nineteenth century, when "Darwin's theory of evolution seemed so to support and enlarge this optimistic evaluation of progress as to see it in a cosmic perspective." But the doctrine of progress is not the same as evolution. "Although this idea of progress had a success for which the word 'triumph' is hardly an exaggeration, there were warning voices raised against it, voices of men of weight and importance who were not willng to accept the new doctrine," he said. "It was a new doctrine because it was not known to antiquity, it was not known in the time of the Reformation, it was unknown in all Asiatic culture. It was a new thing! The idea of progress became an axiomatic conviction which needed no proof and could not be disproved." At one point, Brunner said, "Since Hiroshima the world does not believe in progress anymore." The end of WWII was still fresh in our memories, and I suppose that's why he said it. We know, today, that it didn't take long for much of the world to revive and renew its faith in progress. And now it's stronger--and more dangerous--than ever. I'm not opposed to every aspect of progress. Progress, when it moves in wholesome and healthy directions, is a blessing. I'm glad my dentist is able to fill--and save--my teeth without pain. And when it came time for my doctor to pull my cataracts and replace them with implanted lenses, I marveled at the miracle. It was a quick and painless operation, and now I have wonderful vision. It's that dogmatic idea of progress based on greed and cold indifference to global warming that concerns me. It's that ongoing waste of limited resources, whether they be animal, vegetable or mineral, that concerns me. We are pulling the carpet from beneath our feet, and the king is pulling hardest of all. And who is the king? Ignorance! Ignorance is king!

My favorite book, in any genre
Ronald Wright is an amazing scholar and writer. His style is fun and easy to read while delivering impeccable historical research. I have listed to this book several times over the years and I appreciate it more each time. I recommend the audio version more than the print version because of the compelling way Mr. Wright delivers this 4-Part lecture series to his audience (now in book form). Note to Amazon: Please make this book available on Audible, CDs are cumbersome.

How many trees do we have left?
In this book, the author takes a look at the downfall of civilizations. Yes, that's plural. There are several models of how civilization is progressing. One is that we're getting better and better as time goes by. Another, less popular one states that we are actually in decline, going down from some sort of golden age. You'll find many of these proponents in the old age homes and such. For them, the only disagreement is when we are declining from. Wright takes a look at the cyclical nature of the rise and fall of civilizations, taking examples from several once- prospering civilizations. This book stands as a call to action that something must be done to grow smartly and be careful on how we allocate the scant resources we have left. While he doesn't hit an anything new, this book's strength is its concise nature. The several examples are familiar and in that have more impact. The strongest example is one he visits several times to show an analogy of current times: Easter Island. This isolated speck in the Pacific was once a thriving mini-civilization with culture and art. And a lot of trees. These trees helped the islanders fish and raise their ceremonial head sculptures. However, these trees also were a poorly cultivated resource. Someone not too long ago cut down the last tree, and the island is now a wasteland and anthropological curiosity. We are doing the same thing. How many trees do we have left to cut?

Good on Review Short on Direct Experience
It is an extensive review of the literature on rise and fall of civilizations with observations on our's. Extremely well footnoted and referenced it however suffers from the author appearing to have little direct primary experience in the study of his topic. Nonetheless there is good information here and substantiation of the notion that cultures come and go, frequently going as a result of the lack of capacity necessary to change group behavior in response to certain challenges. He presents compelling evidence that those overwhelming challenges often revolve around irrational and compulsive exploitation of natural resources. Sadly I share the author's pessimism in regard to our global culture being likely to respond adequately to the ongoing destruction of our livable earthly environment. I fear the planet is headed for a massive kill off in the disturbingly near future.

I hate to be the kind of person preaching on Doom's ...
This is an impressive quick read. I hate to be the kind of person preaching on Doom's Day, but I do find the definition of progress to be a multi-faceted, direct correlation to humanity, or as this book challenges, inversely related. As Le Corbusier once stated in Towards a New Architecture, "[Progress is] the study of minute points pushed to its limits." I think that we forget that limits do exist. On a sustainability level, we seem to forget that growth is bound to a carrying capacity which is only a constant. We exceed limits in population, in wealth, in energy consumption, and we are doing so blindly because we believe we are progressing. This is the first that I heard the term "progress traps" (which I think Wright may have coined himself), and I believe we seem to fall under the impression that distilling or expanding our limitations is an ultimate form of progress, when in fact, its lack in sustainability will only push us back. If you have the time, it's a pretty quick and enlightening read. If you are still on the fence with the concepts discussed in the book, I recommend finding it at a local library before committing to buy. For me, I recommend it. Also, if you are interested, there is a documentary based on this book called "Surviving Progress" (2011). I prefer the book so much more, but the documentary wasn't that bad.
