Wine & Soul Pintas Tinto 2023

Wine & Soul Pintas Red 2023 is one of the great old-vine reds of the Douro, crafted in the Pinhão Valley by Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges. Made from a single 93-year-old plot with over 40 indigenous grape varieties, it perfectly embodies the estate’s philosophy: to produce small-scale wines with immense depth, balance and a distinct Douro identity. Particularly vibrant, harmonious and well-defined, it combines the wine’s characteristic intensity with remarkable freshness and a very classic profile.

Vinification: An early but very precise harvest. The grapes, previously selected and fully destemmed, were fermented in stone vats with foot treading for 7 days. Malolactic fermentation and ageing took place in French oak barrels over 23 months, a process designed to refine the tannins without obscuring the purity of the fruit and the vineyard’s mineral character.

Tasting Notes: On the nose, intense and precise, with aromas of fresh black cherry, floral notes, wild herbs and a very pronounced minerality. On the palate, vibrant, deep and elegantly structured, with good tannins, great persistence and a complexity that develops over time in the glass. A Douro Red with a serious, sophisticated and highly gastronomic profile, made to impress now, but clearly prepared for long-term development in the bottle.

Grape Varieties: A field blend of over 40 indigenous Douro grape varieties
