António Maçanita Castelão Reserva Tinto

Description

Joana and António Maçanita had long harboured a dream: to create a wine with its own character and personality, in the style of the two brothers and winemakers. The opportunity arose on the Douro lands where Joana carries out part of her professional work. Amidst terraces and high vineyards, she encountered a very special raw material that made it impossible to stay indifferent; she called António and challenged him. In 2011 the roots of the Maçanita brothers’ project were planted in the Douro. The vines are located in the Douro, Cima Corgo sub-region, near Pinhão. They were carefully selected to fit the right profile, grapes with great concentration, richness, and freshness. The two brothers together walk through the vineyards, overseeing the decisive operations that ensure quality and grape health. With a minimally interventive approach, where the extraction of color and structure is carried out gently and slowly, Maçanita wines are a pure expression of the “à Maçanita” winemaking philosophy, putting the fruit above all.
