Quinta do Pinto, Merlot/Syrah

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.
