What The Fellas Say

Make me smile. Make me feel something. Make me think. Yup, this classy blend of international and Portuguese grapes does all that. It’s a late night café in Mouraria, full of life and polyglot conversation. It’s a night train to Budapest in 1990, full of hope and cigarette smoke. Fresh and ready, balanced and intelligent, full of character.

What The Sommelier Says

Rich garnet colour with flecks of cherry. Intense aroma, with a slight minty touch and ripe forest fruits where currants and black berries stand out. In the mouth, voluminous and smooth with present but silky tannins, notes of pepper and a persistent aftertaste marked by hints of dark chocolate.

Pairs well with…

…a seared fatty steak, a pheasant stew, any variety of strong, mature cheeses.

About The Winemakers

Historically, the wine produced at the estate two centuries ago was so highly regarded in the region that it was worth more than the gold currency known as “Pintos” during the reign of King João V. This wine gained fame in European courts, and the estate’s charismatic steward at the time was also named Pinto, which led to the estate being referred to as ‘the Pinto.’ Coincidentally, Pinto is also the surname of the current owners, the Cardoso Pinto family, who proudly named their winemaking project and one of their wines after this legacy. Their mission is to produce high-quality wines that showcase the best of the region.
