O Produtor, tasting note published in May 15th 2019
Bright ruby. Rich, balsamic aroma, with notes of spices and pepper, forest fruits and silica, integrated with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Elegant, with silky tannins and well present, with notes of forest fruits that stand out. The toast very well integrated gives notes of chocolate, coffee and spices. It has a long and voluminous finish.
Produced with Tinta Miúda, one of the most representative grape varieties of our region and the history of our Quinta. It is a single variety from Old Vines, fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels, where we intend to express the typicality in its splendour. At the entrance of the winery, a selection table in order to select the best bunches. Fermented with autochthonous yeasts in cement vats at a temperature between 26 and 28oc. This was followed by a period of post fermentative maceration of 2 weeks, which promoted a greater volume in the mouth and subsequent malolactic fermentation in cement vats. The wine aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels.

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.
