It is an estate with a long history, however it is since the takeover in 2004 that Romaneira\u00a0has started to do really marvellous things. An extensive programme of replanting was initiated, and a brand new winery constructed &#8211; the new team in charge wanted to start from scratch and to make their own, new mark on these vineyards of old.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-25381 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Victoria-Moore-.jpg\" alt=\"Victoria-Moore-\" width=\"160\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8216;Romaneira\u00a0wines, in particular, tread a very fine line between capturing an air\u00a0of the\u00a0wild savagery of the Douro, while feeling very civilised.&#8217; \u00a0Victoria Moore<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Telegraph Luxury article at the bottom of this post was written by Victoria Moore following a recent visit she made to the vast Romaneira estate. She points to the quality of the port being produced here in the very homeland of port production, but like Seely she is more interested in what is being done with the wines. The vision for the estate is to create wines from the Douro that rival those of the great wine producing regions of the world, and we would certainly suggest that Seely and his team are well on their way to greatness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25392\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Quinta-da-Romaneira-19.jpg\" alt=\"Quinta da Romaneira (19)\" width=\"799\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can look at our range from Quinta da Romaneira on our website.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leaandsandeman.co.uk\/wine-producer\/Quinta-da-Romaneira-1904-04.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26027\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-2207a.kxcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Browse-Here-Button-Orange.png\" alt=\"Browse-Here\" width=\"150\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read Victoria&#8217;s article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/luxury\/drinking-and-dining\/quinta-da-romaneira-port-debuts-in-the-uk\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0to find out more about Quinta da Romaneira.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Our challenge has been, and remains, to find ways to vinify unfortified wines from the Douro that can take their rightful placeamong the great wines of the world, alongside the other great classic regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy or the Rhone Valley&#8217;
