Pintas Port Vintage 2015

006It’s a 79 year old vineyard, traditional for Vintage Port with more than 30 different portuguese grape varieties.

The harvest was planned for the last week of September in perfect weather conditions. All grapes previously selected and non destemmed were foot trodden in stone lagares. The aging was developed in a old Port Tonel during 19 months, after which the wine was bottled.

A classic vintage year, the wet and cold winter preceding the harvest permitted the vines to have great reserves of ground water for the hot and dry summer. The crop ripened very well with great balance, showing beautiful pure fresh fruit, intense aromatic expression and firm and beautiful tannins that will ensure longevity.
