This Maçanita is a delightful surprise from the Alentejo – a beautiful reminder that some traditions deserve a revival. Featuring a touch of Trincadeira das Pratas (Tamarez) and Boal de Alicante (Alicante Branco), the Nora vineyard – already 38 years old and organically farmed – delivers an unexpectedly rich texture and a vibrant acidity. It’s a genuine celebration of local grapes, with a hint of Roupeiro and Rabo de Ovelha, and a testament to the impressive results of Vale do Cepo’s integrated production (now 51 years old). The addition of Antão Vaz contributes a complex, fruity aroma. As Robert Parker rightly noted with a 90/100 score, this is a wine best enjoyed with grilled fish or fresh shellfish – a clear demonstration of passion for the terroir yielding truly remarkable results.
