About The Wine

If you’ve ever been to Lisbon or Porto, you already know—Portugal has a rhythm all its own. Sunlight, sea air, and slow meals that stretch into the night.

Nestled in the hills of Alenquer, in the heart of the Lisboa coastal region, Quinta do Pinto spans over 120 hectares of vineyards and a historic manor where wine has been made for centuries. Today, the Pinto family continues that legacy with a clear purpose: to craft wines of genuine character—rooted in their land, expressive of their climate, and offered at honest value.

Quinta do Pinto is a family-owned estate currently led by Rita Cardoso Pinto, who oversees the project with her sister Ana. Though originally founded by their father, António Afonso Lasso de la Vega Cardoso Pinto, the estate has evolved under the sisters’ direction into one of the standout female-led wineries in Portugal. Their vision combines tradition with innovation — producing elegant, terroir-driven wines that honor the land’s history while embracing modern craftsmanship.

Alenquer, just north of Lisbon and shielded by the Serra de Montejunto hills, enjoys the perfect blend of Atlantic freshness and southern warmth. That balance gives this wine both lift and depth—vibrant fruit wrapped in smooth, polished richness.

Blending Portugal’s native grapes with a touch of the international—Touriga Nacional, Petit Verdot and Merlot—this wine is bold yet refined. It’s big enough for a steak, yet smooth enough to enjoy on its own.

The vinification process involved careful vineyard management to optimize the aromatic potential of the grapes.

Harvesting was done manually, followed by the selection of the best clusters upon entry into the cellar.

Aged in French oak barrels for twelve months. It presents a rich aromatic bouquet, full-body and velvety texture with a long finish. We recommend to pair this wine with refined cuisine.

This wine is a blend of several grape varieties of Touriga Nacional, Petit Verdot and Merlot.

Intense ruby color, in the aroma, ripe red fruit notes stand out, especially plum compote. Dark chocolate and toasty notes from barrel aging are also notable.

On the palate, dark chocolate again shines through, accompanied by ripe red fruits, providing an excellent texture. The lively and silky tannins give great longevity to the wine, which finishes in a fine and elegant manner.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

The 2016 Estate Collection red is mostly a blend of Touriga Nacional, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Aged for 12 months in used French barriques and concrete tanks. It comes in at 14.6% alcohol. Showing plenty of fruit concentration, it still seems light in the mid-palate in terms of mouthfeel. Overall, this is still a little tight, although not unapproachable. Come back next year for better results. In fact, it won't be released until the end of 2022 or early 2023. There were 22,666 bottles produced. ~ Robert Parker

THE PRODUCER

Quinta do Pinto

Situated at Merceana, in the heart of the Lisbon Wine Region, Quinta do Anjo extends over 250 acres, surrounding a 17thC manor house adjacent to a cellar of traditional outline. More than half of the property has already been planted with vineyards, accommodating the nearly two dozen varieties that provide the basis for the ‘business cards’ of the house - the wines 'Vinhas do Lasso', 'Terras do Anjo', 'Qta do Pinto' and ‘Quinta do Pinto – Grande Escolha’. In the remaining area, preference will be given to Portuguese varieties.

Legend has it that the wine produced here two centuries ago, being so outstanding in the region, was worth more Pintos, the gold coin in circulation during the reign of John V. The property’s wine still became famous in European courts. In addition, a Mr. Pinto was once a charismatic foreman of the property, well versed in viticulture and enology and, since then, the estate has been referred in the region as 'the Pinto'. A happy coincidence, Pinto is also the last surname of the present owners.

'Quinta do Pinto’ thus became the name of our wine project and also of one of the wines we proudly produce. To produce wine of recognized superior quality, that will be the maximum expression of the region – this is the motivation of the Cardoso Pinto Family in this project.
