Quinta da Romaneira Syrah Red

Listrão dos Profetas Vinho da Corda White is a wine that revives the ancient tradition of "cord wine" on the island of Porto Santo. This historical method, which exploits the full maturation of coastal grapes, gives life to a wine with a golden yellow color, with intense aromas reminiscent of Madeira and Jerez wine, enriched by ferric and iodized notes. Originating from low-growing vineyards over 80 years old, this unique wine ferments and matures in old barrels for 18 months, achieving exceptional concentration and persistence on the palate. It is the maximum expression of Porto Santo's unique terroir, offering a rich and memorable tasting experience. Ideal for intense dishes such as octopus stew or stew, Listrão dos Profetas Vinho da Corda White should be served at an optimal temperature to fully enjoy its complexity and richness. A true tribute to the traditional winemaking of Porto Santo.
