Wine & Soul Pintas Character is a red wine made from the 30-year old field blend surrounding the Pintas vineyard, which consists of the indigenous varieties 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.[#intro]A traditionally foot trodden Portuguese red wine aged in oak for 18 months...[/intro]
