2022 – Monte do Pintor Red

Monte do Pintor Red comes from Igrejinha, Arraiolos, in the calm Alentejo landscape, where old south-facing vineyards receive nearly 3,000 hours of sunshine each year. The label’s original winemakers, Francisco Pimenta and Professor Colaco do Rosario, were also behind Portugal’s renowned EA, Cartuxa, and Pera-Manca wines. Made from Trincadeira, Aragonez, and Castelão, it ages 10 months in French oak, showing concentrated black fruit, spice, freshness, balance, and elegant persistence.
