A forgotten grape from a 1970 vineyard: fresh, taut and full of citrus.
Tasting note
Yellow-citrus in colour. An intense, fresh nose of citrus with a subtle hint of pineapple. A fine, taut attack, lovely texture and a long, fresh finish.
The story
Trincadeira das Pratas used to be called Tamarez and was one of the key white grapes of the old Alentejo, it is a cross of Mourisco Branco and Alfrocheiro. Only 3,333 numbered bottles exist.
The Chão dos Eremitas vineyard was planted in 1970 at the southern foot of the Serra d’Ossa. Two streams keep the ground cool, and the name recalls the hermit monks who once lived there.
Granitic soils rich in active limestone give a fresh, tight structure. Organic farming, hand-picked at night, direct pressing and spontaneous fermentation in old barrels, with no sulphites until fermentation ends and no fining, then 12 months on fine lees without bâtonnage and 3 months in stainless steel.
Food pairing
Grilled or baked oily fish and seafood with creamy or rich textures.
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.

Admires the fruit-forward nose of melon, quince, dried pineapple and lemon zest with herbs, and a medium- to full-bodied, dense, fresh and harmonious palate.
