O Do Pote De Barro By António Maçanita Tinto

Description

Joana and António Maçanita had long harboured a dream: to create a wine with its own character and personality, true to the style of the two brothers and winemakers. The opportunity arose in the Douro, where Joana conducts part of her professional work. While traversing terraces and high vineyards, she discovered a very special raw material that could not be ignored, so she called António and challenged him. In 2011 the roots of the Maçanita brothers’ project in the Douro were planted. The vineyards are in the Douro’s Cima Corgo sub‑region, near Pinhão, carefully selected to fit the right profile—grapes with great concentration, richness and freshness. The brothers walk the vines together, performing decisive operations to ensure quality and grape health. With a minimally interventionist approach, where colour and structure extraction is smooth and slow, Maçanita wines are a pure expression of “Maçanita” winemaking, fruit above all.
