Pedro Pimenta da Silva inherited one of the most emblematic estates for the production of Douro Vintages, which descends from 300 meters above sea level to embrace the famous village of Pinhão. A dormant gem for exactly 200 years, which provided old grapes and wines for some of the best Ports ever produced by traditional houses. Since 2019, with the help of experienced winemaker Bernardo Cabral, Pedro has been working hard to deliver the glory that belongs to Sabordela, and finally comes to the market with stunning whites, reds and Ports. Thus, a new legend is born in Pinhão!
Wine:
A 100% Touriga Nacional from vineyards planted in schist soils on the slopes of the Douro, which expresses all the depth, freshness and elegance that this variety is capable of achieving in magnum format. Sabordela Farm, with roots in Pinhão since 1824, shows here an engaging and precise version of its queen variety.
