Wine & Soul was founded by Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serôdio Borges with a mission to restore and elevate historic Douro vineyards. The 'Manoella' label pays tribute to Quinta da Manoella, one of the couple’s oldest estates, where century-old vines and traditional techniques define the wines. This 10-Year Extra Dry White Port is a rare style that combines the brightness of white grape varieties with extended oxidative aging in the estate’s own lodge.
-

FARMING: Sustainable practices
-
VARIETY: Field blend of Viosinho, Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, and Gouveio
