The 2023s reds are nicely crafted and show contained ripeness, good freshness and balance and integrated oak, coming through as powerful but elegant, and the 2023 Pintas Character, produced with grapes from five plots of old vines with mixed varieties, is a good example of it. It fermented in lagar and was foot trodden, then it matured in used French oak barrels for 22 months. It's medium- to full-bodied, with abundant, fine-grained tannins and with some sweet spices in the finish. 31,336 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2025.

The wine's black chocolate aroma and its ripe, spicy character are immediately appealing. Combined with the dense black currant fruit and core of serious tannins, the wine, produced from a field blend of old vines, will age further. Drink from 2029.
