Macanita Douro Tinto 2022

$2999

A Douro red with no oak on it at all: twelve months in stainless steel, so what reaches the glass is fruit, schist and freshness instead of vanilla and weight. Joana and António Maçanita built their reputation reviving Portugal's indigenous grapes in places most people had written off, from the Azores to the Alentejo, and their Douro project works old vineyards across the Cima Corgo between 200 and 600 meters, where schist gives way to granite at the top of the range and cold nights hold onto acidity. The blend is 55% Touriga Nacional and 20% Sousão, with the remaining quarter from an old field-blend parcel of vines more than 80 years old. Hand-harvested, fermented on wild yeasts, macerated about three weeks, and bottled at 13.5%.

Robert Parker

90 points

"The 2022 Tinto is a ripe, fruit-driven, juicy and aromatic blend of 50% Touriga Nacional and equal parts Sousão and Vinhas Velhas with 13.5% alcohol and mellow acidity. It has notes of violets, juicy dark cherries and some aromatic herbs, a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins and primary flavors of ripe plums in the finish. This ages exclusively in stainless steel for one year. 40,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024." —Luis Gutiérrez

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled ribeye or picanha, lamb chops with garlic, feijoada, chouriço, arroz de pato, or a hard sheep's cheese like Serra da Estrela.

Tasting Profile

Black and blue fruit with violet lift and a clear wet-stone streak. Medium to full-bodied but bright, with firm acidity, fine grippy tannins, and a peppery, mineral finish. No oak character at all.
