Maçanita As Olgas Tinto 2018

Maçanita As Olgas Tinto 2018 is a deeply expressive Douro red, made as a tribute to the region’s old vines and artisanal winemaking traditions. Built on power, structure and elegance, it showcases both the character of the terroir and the Maçanita brothers’ confident touch in the cellar.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a dark, concentrated color that hints at its depth and intensity. The nose is layered with blackberry, blue plum, dried herbs and a subtle graphite edge, giving it a distinctly Douro profile. On the palate, the wine is dense and concentrated, yet lifted by fresh acidity and a firm, well-balanced structure. The tannins are ripe and integrated, and the finish is long, mineral and persistent. This is a wine with strong ageing potential, likely to develop further complexity over time.

Production
The fruit comes from very old vines in Douro’s higher-altitude sites, where mixed field blends and a range of native varieties create natural complexity. Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, followed by ageing in French oak barrels, some of them new, which adds depth and supports the wine’s development without masking its fruit and mineral identity.

Food & Serving
This is a excellent match for rich meat dishes such as slow-roasted lamb, beef stews, grilled entrecôte or game, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve it at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for one to two hours to allow its structure and aromatics to open fully.

Producer
Maçanita is a respected name in contemporary Portuguese wine, known for combining precision, personality and a deep respect for indigenous grapes and old-vine vineyards.
