Constantino Ramos, Vinhão on granite, Vinho Verde
Constantino Ramos is a wine producer in Vinho Verde, Portugal. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Constantino Ramos wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Constantino Ramos made his first wine in 2016. He serves as head winemaker at Anselmo Mendes's winery in Monção e Melgaço, the northernmost and most prized subzone of Vinho Verde. He grew up making wine with his grandmother in Dão and worked for Alves de Sousa in the Douro. Alvarinho for whites; indigenous red varieties (Brancelho, Borraçal, Espadeiro, Vinhão) for the reds.
Wines
"Afluente" Alvarinho is fermented and aged in old French oak. "Juca" is the red, a single-day skin maceration blend from granite soils, bottled in steel and old oak. The Juca is the wine I most look forward to every spring. Dense, sappy, alive, the spring red that isn't pink.
