Tasting Notes from Pinto Wines

Colour Deep and lively Ruby colour
Nose Complex aroma, with notes of spices, balsamic, cedar, tobacco, ripe red fruit, and super elegant and well integrated notes of wood

Vinification Vinified in the Quinta da Leda winery, using selected grapes mainly from this estate, but also from elevated areas in the Douro Superior. After destemming and gentle crushing, the grapes were put into stainless steel vats, where alcoholic fermentation took place. A long, gentle maceration was carried out at a controlled temperature in order to extract the compounds that contribute to the colour, aroma, flavour and longevity of the wine. It was matured in barrels of French oak for a period of about 18 months. The final blend was made based on the careful selection of the best wines, resulting from the numerous tastings and analyses carried out on the different existing blends and barrels, throughout this period. It is in this selection that the “secret” of Barca Velha lies. So as to preserve the highest quality, it was subjected to filtration only before bottling
Cellaring/Ageing Potential  Cellar and open in 25 years time if stored properly. Great Investment
Closure Natural Cork
