Wine and Soul, Lda
Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges began their venture in 2001. To begin with, this 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 name Wine & Soul is the product of their passion and total commitment to wine. From the start, the work of this company has focused on a tireless search for exceptional vines in the Pinhão valley - the historic heart of the great Port wines - and on giving them voice.Their first creation was a wine called Pintas, named after the couple’s restless Pointer. What was initially a garage wine is today the reflection of Douro history and tradition, using grapes from old vines of more than 30 mixed grape varieties. In it the grandeur, breadth and richness of this region find a faithful expression. Later came Pintas Character, Guru white wine, Pintas Vintage Port and the extraordinary 5G Port. The last of these is made from a batch of very old wines, some of which are over one hundred years old. In 2009, these were joined by wines from the celebrated Quinta da Manoella, a beautiful property where vines over a hundred years old grow side by side with young vines planted 30 years ago and even more recent ones. Quinta da Manoella Vinhas Velhas was instantly hailed as one of the great Douro wines. With this repertoire, Wine & Soul has become the image of the modern Douro: a Douro in which the nature and personality of each vineyard speak more loudly. With minimal intervention during vinification, it is their unique terroir that every growing year moulds to its taste, which determines the expression of each individual wine. Sandra and Jorge believe in the power of the alliance between Port and Douro wines, and this is the focus of their work. Today Wine & Soul and its wines are living proof that the traditional vineyards where the great vintage Ports are made are equally capable of producing great Douro wines.
