Tasting Notes

Raspberry, black cherry, plum, blackberry, and subtle spice create a sleek, concentrated bouquet. Fresh and velvety on the palate, it offers refined tannins and a beautifully long, persistent finish.

Food Paring

Pair this powerful Douro red with grilled lamb, braised beef, or smoky pork shoulder. Aged sheep’s-milk cheese and mushroom-rich dishes complement its polished tannins and spice.

Professional Reviews

94 Tim Atkin

"Produced from five tiny plots of 70 to 90 year old vines with 32 varieties, this wine is foot-trodden in granite lagares with very gentle extraction before ageing for around 18 months in barrel. Deeply concentrated yet well contained, it combines black pepper, red pepper and spicy red fruit with soft tannins that nicely frame the wine. Elegant but with underlying power and structure, it feels tightly coiled and built to evolve slowly over time."

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2023s reds are nicely crafted and show contained ripeness, good freshness and balance and integrated oak, coming through as powerful but elegant, and the 2023 Pintas Character, produced with grapes from five plots of old vines with mixed varieties, is a good example of it. It fermented in lagar and was foot trodden, then it matured in used French oak barrels for 22 months. It's medium- to full-bodied, with abundant, fine-grained tannins and with some sweet spices in the finish."

Region Information

The Douro is one of Portugal’s most important wine regions, famous worldwide as the birthplace of Port wine and increasingly respected for high‑quality dry red wines. Steep terraced vineyards along the Douro River, combined with a hot continental climate and schist soils, produce concentrated wines with depth and aging potential. Douro wines showcase Portugal’s indigenous grape varieties and strong sense of terroir.

Portugal is renowned for its indigenous grape varieties and fortified wines like Port and Madeira. The Douro Valley is one of the world’s oldest demarcated wine regions. Portuguese wines offer distinctive character and excellent value. Tradition and innovation coexist across its wine regions.
