About Winery and Wines
"Our goal is to create wines that express the full character of the traditional vineyards and varieties in the Douro Valley" Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges began their adventure in 2001. In the beginning, the young couple had no vineyards and no wine, but they shared a dream, a personal project to which they have devoted themselves body and soul. The innovative yet rustic winery was founded nearly ten years ago by Jorge Serôdio Borges and his wife Sandra Tavares da Silva, two of the most celebrated winemakers in Portugal, who wanted to channel their extensive experience into a winery that would showcase the traditional varieties of the Douro Valley on an international scale.
Their first creation was a wine called Pintas, named after the couple’s restless English Pointer. What was initially an old Port lodge is today a reflection of the Douro’s history and tradition, using grapes from old vines with more than 40 mixed grape varieties. In it the grandeur, breadth and richness of this region. “We wanted to make a full-bodied wine, wild and vertiginous, that would illustrate the flair and colossal landscape of the Douro Valley. Pintas just shows the best version of the Douro, the strength, the enthusiasm and the perfect balance with long and lasting finish.”
