In 2010, Joana and António founded Maçanita Vinhos after an invitation from a local Douro family who had read about these playful and ambitious sibling winemakers. Both siblings contribute to Maçanita Vinhos, but the challenging Douro Valley has been Joana’s passion project since the start, and Joana and her children even moved to the Porto area to be closer to the winery and vineyards. Setting down roots in the region has allowed her to focus her famous energy into expanding the rising star that is her Douro career.
Made with a blend of traditional Douro grapes. After a long period of maceration, the fermentation took place, with the help of indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel vats. Then, the 60% of the batch has been transferred to French oak barrels, where it has stayed in contact with fine lees, for 9 months, and it was subjected to a regular stirring, before being mixed, filtered and bottled.
A unique white that goes well with a variety of soft cheeses. Lightly pungent, with a hint of Epoisses cheese, macadamia nuts and white mushrooms. Supple, subtle and attractively nutty on the palate, with a medium to full body and fresh but creamy acidity. Very composed and long.
