The 2017 Vinhas Velhas de Santa Maria (Quinta de Foz de Arouce) is a Baga aged for 12 months in new French barriques. It comes in at 13.8% alcohol. The “Vinhas Velhas” references vines over 80 years old. It’s remarkable how graceful this is, while at the same time aggressive, mouth coating and in perception full-bodied. It’s beautifully wrought, another fine performance from this winery and João Portugal Ramos’s team (his mother-in-law owns the winery). This will acquire more character and shed the wood as it ages, but it certainly has a fair share of character and complexity now. It should age effortlessly for a couple of decades.

This structured wine, pure Baga, is powerful and densely textured. Black fruits, the spice from wood fermentation and aging and a solid feel, give this wine great richness. Drink this fine wine from 2024
“Full bodied wine with intense and concentrated fruit aromas of prunes and red fruits, also showing spicy and tobacco notes. Powerful and dense in the mouth, with well-balanced tannins. Long and persistent finish. A wine for ageing”- Winery
