WINE DESCRIPTION
Maçanita Tinto is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winemaker, António Maçanita. This wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown in the Alentejo region of Portugal, known for its hot and dry climate. The vineyards are situated on rolling hills with rocky soils, which impart unique mineral characteristics to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including foot-treading and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Maçanita
Region: Douro
The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines.
The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.CUSTOMER RATING
