Macanita Vinhos

Antonio and Joanna Maçanita, brother and sister, get along well in their joint project in Douro under their last name Maçanita. Antonio is a well-known name because of his commitment to the Alentejo region and especially to the Azores project and their wines, which are some of the biggest discoveries in recent years. Joanna is also committed to her project to restore the brilliance of the Algarve, once a very famous region - she advises six wineries in the southernmost part of Portugal. Today, in their joint project, the two produce wines from the three subregions of the Douro Valley (Cima-Corgo, Baixo-Corgo and Douro Superior). In addition to the region's classic blends, the two offer very bold solutions - such as pure Malvasia Fina among whites and pure local Sousão among reds. Their wines are more than promising, and brother and sister are not afraid to push the boundaries and force us to leave our comfort zone by offering these unexpected treasures.

Verdelho

Verdelho is a white wine grape variety associated with Madeira wines off the coast of Portugal, where it is the most widespread grape variety there in the 19th century. It was used mainly for the production of oxidized white wine, but the invasion of phylloxera in the 1960s had a devastating effect on the island's crops. Many of Verdelho's vineyards have been replaced by the more reliable and sustainable Tinta Negra Mole. Today, Verdelho is still grown in Europe, but is better known in Australia and America, where it is used to make dry white wines. The fragrant profile of Verdelho is fresh, sometimes with grassy or spicy accents. Old World-style wines are rich, with aromas of ripe apricots and stone fruits, while in Australia they are more in the range of citrus and tropical fruits. Apart from being a varietal wine, Verdelho is also used in blends with Chardonnay or Semillon. These wines are usually not intended for aging and are best consumed young.
