Manoella Rosé 2022
Region: Douro
Producer: Wine & Soul
Wine and Soul was founded in 2001 by Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges, both winemakers and couple, who invested and acquired old vineyards and properties in the Pinhão Valley in Cima Corgo."Our aim is to create wines that express all the character of the traditional vineyards and grape varieties of the Douro Valley. Wines balanced between concentration, complexity and elegance".
They chose a 100-year-old vineyard in the Pinhão Valley (Vale de Mendiz). This south-facing plot is ideally situated to produce the powerful and intense red wine style imagined by Sandra and Jorge. Pintas was born.
Manoella is the second estate of Sandra Tavares and Jorge Borges, located a little higher than the Pintas vineyard. Here, too, the couple produces intensely tasting Douro wines.
This is a classy, fresh and fragrant rosé with beautiful aromas of raspberries, roses and a light touch of clementine. Very refreshing, long with a mineral edge on the final. Very pale and light color.
