DESCRIPTION
Two longtime friends, passionate winemakers, decided to work together to create two authentic terroir wines in their Douro region. This collaboration gave birth to Pingolé, a sincere expression of an exceptional terroir.
Born from a unique parcel of 60+ year-old vines in the Tàvora valley, this Douro red blends over 20 traditional grape varieties for remarkable complexity. Hand-harvested and aged 18 months in French oak barrels, it reveals a deep ruby color with aromas of black cherry, wild truffle, pink pepper and violet. On the palate, silky tannins balance with vibrant acidity for a long, elegant finish. An age-worthy wine that pairs beautifully with grilled meats and aged cheeses.
REGION
Douro
Portugal
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Douro is one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world. Set along the river that gives it its name, it is divided into three subregions: Baixo Corgo (cooler climate, elegant wines), Cima Corgo (the historic heart, balance and complexity) and Douro Superior (hotter and drier, power and intensity).
Famous for its Ports, the Douro also produces exceptional dry red and white wines from native grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Rabigato. Here, dizzying terraces, schist soils and ancestral know how give wines that combine character, elegance and long ageing potential.

This Pingolé embodies the soul of the Douro with authenticity. The old vines of Cima Corgo bring a depth and minerality that only such ancient terroir can offer. It's a wine that tells the story of generations of winemakers.
