3 x Pinalta Secegas 2015
Pinalta S17 2015 is an exceptional, intense, aromatic Douro wine.
Pinalta S17 2015 was produced from the fruits of mature vines on the typical banks of the Douro, surrounded by a somewhat rugged landscape, composed of imposing fragments, wild animals and a unique microclimate generated by the proximity of the river.
The appreciative effort of men to harvest these extra mature bunches in an exceptional year and the minimal intervention in the mill has allowed us to discover the genius of the archaic nature of the Douro. The terroir deceives climate change!
