Description
Pintas Character is made from a field blend of 30 different varieties from the 45-year-old Vale de Mendiz vineyard adjacent to the 85-year-old Pintas vineyard. Some varieties are the indigenous Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional. The wine is fermented in traditional granite lagares and aged for 18 months in 50% new and 50% second-passage French oak barriques. Rich and powerful, this wine shows notes of raspberry, black cherry and plums. On the palate it is fresh and velvety with well integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish.
