Wine profile
Body
This wine: 3 out of 5 — right in the middle.
How heavy and full the wine feels in your mouth — from light like skimmed milk to rich like cream. It comes mainly from alcohol, extract and, in sweet wines, sugar.
Wine profile
Tannin
This wine: 4 out of 5 — closer to «firm».
Tannins come from grape skins, seeds and oak. You feel them as a pleasant drying grip on gums and tongue — from silky and velvety to firm and chewy.
Wine profile
Acidity
This wine: 3 out of 5 — right in the middle.
The freshness that makes your mouth water, like a squeeze of lemon. It gives a wine tension, length and ageing potential, and makes it great with food.

Reviewed by: Luis Gutiérrez
The 2023 reds are very well made, with restrained ripeness, good freshness and balance, and well-integrated oak. They're powerful yet elegant, and the 2023 Pintas Character, from grapes from five old-vine plots with mixed varieties, is an excellent example of this profile.
It fermented in lagares, foot-trodden, and then aged for 22 months in used French oak barrels. It's medium to full-bodied, with abundant, fine, grainy tannins, finishing with pleasant sweet-spice notes.
31,336 bottles were produced. The wine was bottled in July 2025.
Wine & Soul is the project of couple Jorge Serôdio and Sandra Tavares. They own 45 hectares across different Douro villages, 80% of which are old vines. Total production is about 180,000 bottles.
2023 had a rainy spring and moderate temperatures, letting the soils replenish their water reserves after several years of severe drought, particularly 2022. Spring was stable, with good flowering and fruit set, giving higher yields than in 2022 and 2020.
Summer was hot but without extremes, allowing slow, balanced ripening. The grapes showed good phenolic ripeness, well-defined aromas and balanced acidity. The 2023 reds are very well made, with restrained ripeness, good freshness and balance, and perfectly integrated oak. The result is wines that are powerful yet elegant.
2024 had more classic, balanced conditions: a winter with good rainfall, properly replenishing water reserves; a stable spring, favouring balanced vegetative growth; and a moderate summer, with good day-night temperature swings and no heatwaves, promoting slow, complete ripening.
