The producer
Fitapreta is António Maçanita’s Alentejo estate near Évora. Certified organic, dry-farmed and built around native grapes, it has made him one of Portugal’s most inventive winemakers.
The estate lies 10 km from Évora at the Paço do Morgado de Oliveira, a medieval manor founded in 1306. Beside the palace stands a modern winery, completed in 2017 and clad entirely in Alentejo cork.

Highlights a deep, brooding nose of bramble, balsamic and liquorice and a vibrant, enveloping palate with fine-grained tannins, nerve and precision, drink or hold.
