Pintas 3 Litros Tinto

Description

Pintas Tinto 3 Litros is a red wine from the Douro, Portugal, produced by Wine & Soul. The winemaking is overseen by Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges. It is made from a field blend of old vines. Vintage 2023. Pintas Tinto 2023 Vineyard: A single plot, 93 years old, with around 40 indigenous grape varieties from the Douro. Winemaking: The harvest took place under perfect weather conditions on 1 September. The carefully selected grapes were destemmed and fermented in a lagar, foot-trodden for 10 days. Aging and malolactic fermentation took place in French oak barrels over 20 months. It shows a very intense purple colour. On the nose, seductive and mineral, with pure notes of black cherry, cassis and spices. On the palate, harmonious, with good texture and a long finish. Rich in flavour, with refined tannins. It pairs well with grilled red meats, roast kid goat and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. At 14.5% vol., it comes in a 3 L bottle. To get the most from this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which lets the aromas breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
