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 Letra F vineyard plots showcase a diverse array of grape varieties, planted at high altitudes on soils transitioning from schist to granite. While the Douro Valley is renowned for famous sites such as the Letra A vines used for Port production, Letra F has historically received less attention due to grapes with lighter concentration and structure. Yet, hidden treasures exist within these plots—vines planted long ago that reveal the diversity of terroirs and the untapped potential of the Douro region.

Made with more than 20 red & white varieties mixed, the nose unfolds with red berry fruits accented by floral shades of peonies and subtle mineral tones. On the palate, it's fresh and lively, supported by striking acidity and concentrated aromatics. Fine, long, and gripping tannins guide this medium-bodied red to a distinctly saline finish, making it both elegant and memorable.

Pairs beautifully with dark-fleshed fish, tartare, and grilled meats, as well as a selection of cheeses and lightly sweet desserts.
