In 2010, brother & sister duo Joana and António founded Maçanita Vinhos following an invitation from a local Douro family who had been inspired by the ambition and creativity of the sibling winemakers. While both contribute to the winery, the challenging Douro Valley has been Joana’s personal passion from the start. She even relocated with her children to the Porto area to be closer to the vineyards, allowing her to focus her renowned energy on growing her Douro career and nurturing Maçanita’s rising profile.

Os Canivéis Tinto hails from a collection of parcels in Carlão, Cima Corgo, with vineyards aged 80–92 years at 510 meters. Crafted from a blend of 11 traditional grape varieties, it reveals aromas of fresh fruit and dark chocolate. The palate is creamy on entry, framed by firm, enduring tannins and an elegant structure. With very limited production, Os Canivéis stands as a true Douro gem, showcasing the region’s artisanal winemaking traditions and meticulous attention to detail.

Pairs beautifully with dark meats, Asian cuisine, and spicy cheeses.

The red 2022 Os Canivéis Tinto comes from a place that doesn't have enough ripeness for Port and therefore is classified as F. It's from a selection of small plots with soil that is in transition between schist and granite, planted with a field blend of Casculho, Cornifesto, Tinta Carvalha, Trincadeira Preta, Dozelinho Tinto, Tinta Aguiar, Mourisco, Alvarelhão, Aramón, Chancelar, Bastardo, Tinta Roriz, Mourisco de Semente, Moreto, Touriga Nacional, Malvasia Preta and Tinta Nevoeira. It fermented in lagar with 30% full clusters and matured in neutral barrels. It's pale, delicate and perfumed, with notes of wild flowers and herbs, and it has a stony sensation on the palate, with very fine, elegant tannins and great balance. It comes in at 12.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.65 and 4.8 grams of acidity. 2,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024. He also makes a white from the same zone and with the same name.
