Pintas Vertical
I would like to arrange a Pintas vertical which started in 2003 I believe . It’s never been done before and some of the vintages are in very short supply
Could everyone let me know what they have.
I have 2011, 2007, 2005, and 2003.

Re: Pintas Vertical
Bottles so far:
This list of attendees is made without bound, because it is not yet known where the cut will be. It might at as few as eight people, or perhaps at the usual limit of fourteen. And the list might be rearranged to favour those with relevant contributions.
- 2003 (CMAG);
- 2005 (CMAG);
- 2007 (CMAG);
- 2011 (CMAG);
- 2014 (MJRM);
- 2015 (MSC);
- 2016 (MJRM);
- 2017 (GEAG);
- 2018, perhaps (NAC);
- 2019 (MSC, CMAG).

Re: Pintas Vertical
Happy to buy something so as to be able to attend. 2017?
Re: Pintas Vertical
I'm also happy to buy something for this but it appears to be a really small range to choose from....
Re: Pintas Vertical
I have no Pintas, yet. Depending on date of tasting, I might be in Porto/Douro before then and could seek something out.

Re: Pintas Vertical
I have 2003, 2007, 2014, 2016.
It's unlikely I'll make the tasting, but these things pop up every once in a while.

Re: Pintas Vertical
Pintas is not a producer I am familiar with. I don't own any but would be keen to try some if this comes off.
Re: Pintas Vertical
Pintas (VP and still wine) is produced by Wine & Soul (Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serodio Borges). They also produced VP's (beside the already mentioned) in 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. They are all excellent VP's, that challenge the big names (and maybe equal or even surpass them).

Re: Pintas Vertical
Their still wines are brilliant, some of the best in the Douro. I don't have as much experience with their ports (mostly with tawnies from their Manoella brand, which are very good) other than tasting at fairs and the like, but they should be on the same level.

Re: Pintas Vertical
Yes please.
I’ll speak to my man at Corney & Barrow (who I just happen to be seeing this evening) and see if they can help with supply. Pretty sure they’ve imported since day 1.

Yes talking about the Ports.
Sandra and Jorge will try and help as well but some of the vintages are in short supply.

Re: Pintas Vertical
Thank you , yes they are the importer but very little on their site. Tanners also sell it but again next to nothing.
Re: Pintas Vertical
I would be interested in attending and I might actually have a single bottle kicking around. When I'm back in Bristol I'll check and if I do I'll add it here.
Re: Pintas Vertical
Yes please, but like so many others I have nothing.

Re: Pintas Vertical
Thanks Julian
Can I please add 3 reserved. 2 for the winemakers and one hopefully for a member from abroad.
This if can get it to work will be very difficult to repeat.

Re: Pintas Vertical
The 2017 is arriving today so put me down for that. Provisionally put Jonathan R down as I recall him saying on Tuesday he has some Pintas.
Re: Pintas Vertical
Maybe I'm completely wrong, but could it be that I am supposed to be the "member from abroad"? (because I posted about the existing VP's of Pintas).Christopher wrote: ↑22:44 Wed 16 Oct 2024 Thanks Julian

I am an enormous fan of Sandra and Jorge (please say hello to them from Paul if they join you), but I have no intention to be present (too far, too old ), although it is undoubtedly a great tasting!

Re: Pintas Vertical
Hi if there is a space available could I be added to the attendee list (or to the reserve list if not). I do not own any of their ports but happy to buy as needed. I really like the white they make Guru/Guru NM too. Michael (MJRM).
Re: Pintas Vertical
I thought I had a bottle of Pintas but I cannot find one (or a record of having purchased one) so please drop me to the reserves and I'll make a call on this one once I know what the associated costs might be for adoption etc.rich_n wrote:I would be interested in attending and I might actually have a single bottle kicking around.

Waiting to hear back from C&B. However, put me down for the 2018.
