The climate in Portugal’s wine-growing regions is temperate maritime. Hot summers and wet winters prevail with distance from the Atlantic Ocean or Mediterranean Sea a key influence. The Ramos estates focus on native Portuguese grapes such as Touriga Nacional .

Considered to be one of the most progressive wine companies in Portugal, the Ramos estates follow sustainable practices through an integrated agriculture program.

João Portugal Ramos (right) is personally involved in the winemaking and is rightly fiercely proud of the breadth and quality of the wines that Portugal can offer.
