The project Wine & Soul which she runs with her husband Jorge Borges is produced near Pinhao in Vale de Mendiz. They own some parts themselves and the rest is bought in. All the vines have impressive age, between 40-80 years and the grapes are the usual suspects and a couple of dozen unknown
The 2005 Pintas is dark as the night. It oozes of fresh crushed blue berries, beetroots, rose hip, wet rocks and prunes. A most impressive bouquet filled with character. It don't fall in the trap as many table wines do, taste and smell like a port, no this is a unique wine!
Enormous concentration, awesome tannins, clean refreshing blue berries, plum skins, beetroot and rocks, rocks, rocks! What fine fruit it has. probably needing 5+ years but it's so gooood already. Bravo Sandra!
My fourth bottle and all rated around 94-95 p.
Best,
Niklas
