Wine & Soul Pintas Porto Vintage
Wine Description
Made from a field blend of over 30 different indigenous grape varieties. All grapes were carefully selected and foot trodden in lagares for 5 days until brandy was added to stop the fermentation. The juice is then aged in an old Port Tonel for 19 months, after which the wine was bottled.
