Grapefruit, orange peel and a hint of cream – Fitapreta’s top white.
Tasting note
Lemon to straw yellow. An intense, complex nose of grapefruit and orange peel with a touch of fresh cream. Textured, fresh, rich and intense on the palate, with a long finish.
The story
No sulphites are added until the end of fermentation, keeping the wine as close to the grape as possible.
Hand-picked at night, table-sorted and pressed directly, the must settles cold with no additions. Spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrel without temperature control, then 12 months on fine lees without bâtonnage, in 80% used and 20% new French oak.
Food pairing
Elaborate baked fish dishes, a caldeirada or simply cooked white meat.
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.
