TASTING NOTE:

In order to meet increasing demand, whilst protecting the integrity of Pintas, Sandra and Jorge now source old vine fruit from vineyards surrounding Pintas, also field blends of thirty varieties. The grapes as at Pintas are traditionally foot-trodden and fermented, spending 18 months in 50% new, 50% one year old French oak barriques. Deep plum, jet-shot, this presents sweet candied fruit character but also freshness on the nose. The palate is earthy and baked whilst remaining richly-textured and silky.
