Description

Wine & Soul Pintas 2018

Wine & Soul Pintas has an intense purple colour. Complex, sophisticated and harmonious. The nose opens with pure and rich notes of black cherry, blackcurrant, florals and spice. The full-bodied, deep and round palate is balanced by a notable acidity and focused fine tannins. Ripe black cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate flavours with expressive minerality. Amazing fruit and a terrific savoury finish.

A field blend of more than 40 different indigenous grape varieties from an 88-year-old vineyard in Cima Corgo, Pinhão Valley, Vale de Mendiz.

Harvesting the fruit in the second week of September in perfect weather conditions. The grapes go through a careful selection, destemming, and were foot trodden in stone lagares during the 10 day fermentation process. Ageing and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels for 20 months.
