Pintas red wine 2015

Wine & Soul Pintas Character Red ,Douro 2015, Portugal 

Sandra is winemaker at Quinta do Vale D. Maria since 1999 and in Quinta de Chocapalha (family´s estate) since 2000 and Jorge is also winemaker at Quinta do Passadouro and is envolved in new projects in Douro Valley. “In 2001 we decided to make a wine together, so we bought an old port lodge at Vale de Mendiz, rebuilt the lagares and choosed grapes from the Pinhão Valley. In 2003 we bought the vineyard. Our goal is to create wines that express all the character of the traditional vineyards and varieties from the Douro Valley. Balanced wines between the concentration, complexity and elegance.”

Tasting notes: Perfumed, flavoured with  violetty, plummy fruit. Lovely palate very open and expressive with lovely perfumed fruit and a remarkable purity.
