100% Malvasia Fina
Maçanita Vinhos is a project of two brothers and two enologists. Wines made by two hands. Some wines, although produced together, are the preferences, manias or visions of each one of the brothers. Malvasia Fina is a grape variety that oxidizes easily, which led to its disappearance in several regions. In this Malvasia Fina, we embraced this characteristic, in a wine that instead of protecting from oxidation, we oxygenated the must, fermented in horizontal tanks and barrels, and kept it in aging stage, without sulphur protection until bottling, entrusting the lees bâttonage with this function.
Baixo Corgo - Vila de Poiares - the vineyards are located right in the center of the village. A 536 meters of altitude facing north. The vines overflow with freshness and richness.
The grapes are hand picked and transported in 18kg boxes. In the winery, direct pressing of the whole bunch, fermentation 40% in barrels and 60% in stainless steel tanks that were placed horizontally in contact with the lees. Aged for 18 months in barrels.
Straw yellow color, presents in the aroma tea leaves, white plum and hints of jerry. In the mouth the entrance is dense and creamy, ending with a deep minerality.
