Old vines, night picking and plenty of freshness – an old-school white Alentejo.
Tasting note
Pale lemon yellow, with an intense citrus nose and a refreshing mineral edge. Broad and rich on the palate, with impressive freshness and a long, fruity finish.
The story
With this wine Maçanita revives the old recipe for Alentejo whites, some of its grapes, such as Tamarez and Alicante Branco, now survive on only a few hectares.
The grapes come from old vines averaging over 50 years. Picking starts at 11 pm so the fruit reaches the winery cool by 7 am, followed by whole-bunch pressing. Most of the wine ferments in stainless steel, with a small portion in barrel.
Food pairing
Grilled fish, salads and fresh seafood.
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. Across the courtyard from the palace stands a modern, gravity-fed winery, completed in 2017 and clad in Alentejo cork.
