Maçanita Vinhos Douro Tinto Peso da Régua 2021

Winemaking

Hand-harvested grapes are sorted and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel. A portion of the wine is matured in used French oak barrels for 9–12 months, adding polish and complexity while keeping the fruit expression at the fore. Minimal intervention allows the Douro’s rugged terroir to speak clearly.

Tasting Note

A bold yet refined Douro red, brimming with aromas of black cherry, wild herbs, and crushed violets, underpinned by hints of graphite, cocoa, and liquorice. The palate is structured but fresh, with juicy dark fruit, fine tannins, and a mineral core that drives a long, elegant finish.

Food Match

Chargrilled lamb chops with rosemary, smoky aubergine stew, or duck breast with cherry sauce.
