Macanita 2018
Red Wine from Douro, Portugal
Brother and sister winemakers Antonio and Joana came together to make wines under the Maçanita label, their family name. This is a blend of touriga nacional, sousão and a field blend of old vines, all from the Cima Corgo, and is native fermented with twenty days on skins before being split between neutral barrel and tank for one year. Lovely wild plum, blueberry, sapid thorns, earthy cassis, sour cherry on a tighter, bright palate, with softly grippy tannins holding the sides. Stony and fresh, ideal drinking now.
