O Produtor, tasting note published in May 15th 2022
COLOUR:
Deep ruby.
AROMA:
Intense aroma of black fruit and spices with subtle hints of tomato purée, in perfect harmony with the notes of French oak wood.
TASTE:
Very elegant start marked by aromas of black fruit, dark chocolate and spices perfectly matched with the wood notes. Great volume in the mouth, balanced by the freshness of our terroir. It finishes with a polished tannin, allowing for a long and persistent finish.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature of 22-25oC, with gentle daily pumping over for greater extraction of phenolic compounds. After alcoholic fermentation, post-fermentation maceration was carried out for 3 weeks. For 12 months, the Syrah and Merlot were aged separately in 1st and 2nd use French oak barrels. Before bottling, the wine was not stabilised in any way and only slightly filtered.

Quinta do Pinto
Situated at Merceana, in the heart of the Lisbon Wine Region, Quinta do Anjo extends over 250 acres, surrounding a 17thC manor house adjacent to a cellar of traditional outline. More than half of the property has already been planted with vineyards, accommodating the nearly two dozen varieties that provide the basis for the ‘business cards’ of the house – the wines ‘Vinhas do Lasso’, ‘Terras do Anjo’, ‘Qta do Pinto’ and ‘Quinta do Pinto – Grande Escolha’. In the remaining area, preference will be given to Portuguese varieties. Legend has it that the wine produced here two centuries ago, being so outstanding in the region, was worth more Pintos, the gold coin in circulation during the reign of John V. The property’s wine still became famous in European courts. In addition, a Mr. Pinto was once a charismatic foreman of the property, well versed in viticulture and enology and, since then, the estate has been referred in the region as ‘the Pinto’. A happy coincidence, Pinto is also the last surname of the present owners. ‘Quinta do Pinto’ thus became the name of our wine project and also of one of the wines we proudly produce. To produce wine of recognized superior quality, that will be the maximum expression of the region – this is the motivation of the Cardoso Pinto Family in this project.
