Product information "Pintas Character 2019"
The Pintas Character is an elegant and wonderfully powerful wine. It exudes delicious aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries and juicy dark plum. On the palate it presents itself fresh and velvety, with well-integrated tannins and a pleasantly long finish.
When you talk about pintas, you are talking about the oenologist success and dream team Sandra Tavares and Jorge Borges. Sandra, who, in addition to these fantastic wines, is also responsible for the wines of her parents in Extremadura, Quinta de Chocapalha. And Jorge, former winemaker of Niepoort, now also makes dream wines for Quinta do Passadouro. The highly likeable and rather introverted couple produces some of the country's best wines.

The grapes were harvested by hand, traditionally crushed with bare leg strength in open granite lagares and fermented at controlled 24°C for ten days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine matured for 18 months in 50% new French oak and 50% second-aged French oak.
