O Produtor, tasting note published in April 13th 2021

Orangey colour, remarkable aroma of orange blossom due to the pellicular maceration. In the mouth, surprising for its unusual combination of structure, acidity and salinity.

Maçanita

Following the traditional methods of Colares, the fourth generation of the Ramilo family replanted their free-standing vines, which once survived the Phylloxera. From the Malvasia de Colares grapes, matured on the sandy soil, with the sea at their side, comes a wine whose longevity and saline freshness are surprising. An iconic wine, in Portugal and in the world.

The harvest was meticulous and manual, respecting the integrity of the berries. Part of the grapes were vinified by the open skins method, in small stainless steel vats (without contact with the skins) and the other part by tanning (contact with the skins) in the press.

Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.

António Maçanita

Joana and António Maçanita had a dream, create a wine with unique style, shaped to the personality of the two winemakers. The opportunity arises for the Douroregion, where Joana performs most of her professional activity. Among the terraces and long lines of vineyards, she’s faced with very special grapes, impossible to remain indifferent, Joana called António and challenged him for their first trip. In 2011 the roots are posted for the project of brother and sister, and Dourowas just the right spot. Following the same guideline and quality of the work done in other projects, António and Joana, believe that, the work on the vineyards is very important to achieve the best quality for their wines. The vineyards are located in the Douro, Sub-Region of Cima Corgo near the village of Pinhão. Maçanita Vinhos, carefully chosen their vineyards to fit the right profile, of concentration, richness and freshness. Brother and sister walked together the vineyards in every important operation that defines the quality and health of the grapes. With a enology based in the respect for the fruit, in which the extraction of color and structure of the grapes is made in a soft and slow process. The Maçanita wines are a pure expression of oenology “by Maçanita”, fruit above all.
