Manoella Tinto

Description

Jorge is the fifth generation of a long line of wine producers and cellar owners. In 2009, Sandra and Jorge acquired Quinta da Manoella, a property whose history dates back to 1838. The vines at Quinta da Manoella are over a century old, flanked on both sides by younger vines, allowing them to produce wines with remarkable freshness and delicacy, and with a concentration that quickly earns them a reputation as some of the best wines in the Douro. Founded in 2001 by the winemaking duo Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges, the company Wine & Soul has been investing in and purchasing old vines and properties in the Rio Pinhão valley. The couple’s goal is to craft wines that fully express the character of the old vines and indigenous Douro grape varieties, seeking a balance between concentration, complexity, and elegance.
