The recovery of lost, abandoned or unwanted grape varieties, or disappearing techniques has been one of the marks left by winemaker António Maçanita. In a combination of science, history and the search for traditions, António delves into these themes like few others. The first wine bottled from the Negra Mole grape variety in the Algarve, the first Branco de Talha in the Alentejo, and the fact that today we can taste unique grape varieties such as Tinta Carvalha, Alicante Branco, and Trincadeira das Pratas, also in the Alentejo, are just a few examples of his dedication to discovering a forgotten Portugal. But even so, perhaps his most remarkable work has been with the wines from the Azores, first in the recovery of the Terrantez variety from Pico and then the Arinto variety from the Azores, and now the attention given to the old vines, in what can now be considered a true revolution in Azorean wines.
