2018 | Wine & Soul | Manoella

Beautiful purple color with fresh notes of raspberry, blackberry and spices. On the palate, this wine shows round and velvety tannins, good concentration, and a long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: This supple, full-bodied red offers black cherry and boysenberry notes cast with a citrusy acidity and details of white pepper, herb and smoky mineral. Very appealing and fresh.

• Wine Enthusiast: From an old vineyard in the Pinhão Valley, this wine is beautifully rich in sumptuous tannins and black fruits. It has dense berry flavors that are shot through with bright acidity and a bold structure that will allow it to age.

Producer Information

Wine & Soul is a wine producer based in the central Cima Corga region of the Douro Valley in northern Portugal. It produces a range of still red and white wines as well as Port. Wine & Soul was established by winemakers Jorge Serôdio Borges and Sandra Tavares da Silva in 2001 with a single vineyard in the Cima Corga's Pinhão Valley, by the town of the same name. Progressively the pair have expanded their vineyard holdings which now include the Quinta da Manoella property and cover around 45 hectares (111 acres). The grapes are grown organically and hand harvesting standard across the wines. The wines are generally fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French barriques. The range of wines covers red, white and rosé still wines (most under the banner of Manoella or Pintas), most of which are produced as field blends of red Douro varieties and white Douro varieties (the exception is the Manoella rosé, made predominantly from Touriga Nacional). The Guru and Vinha do Altar whites are also field blends. The port wines cover a range of styles with both red and white ports produced as well as Ruby, 10 year-old Tawny and Reserve bottlings.
