Macanita Vale da Barca Branco 2022

Maçanita Vale da Barca Branco 2022 is one of the standout white wines from Maçanita Vinhos, offering a refined expression of the Douro’s altitude and schist-driven character. Made from Viosinho and Gouveio, it combines freshness, precision, and distinctive mineral depth in a style that feels both vibrant and elegant.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright golden hue that hints at both ripeness and finesse. The nose opens with fresh floral aromas, ripe yellow and green fruit, and a subtle slate-like mineral note that gives the wine an immediate sense of place. On the palate, it is light and juicy yet impressively concentrated, carried by refreshing acidity and a clean, balanced profile. Flavors of green and golden apple, pear, and white pepper are layered with floral and mineral nuances, leading to a long, elegant finish. With its structure and freshness, it has good short- to medium-term aging potential.

Production
This wine comes from schist-rich soils in the Douro, with vines growing at an average altitude of around 750 meters, helping preserve acidity and aromatic precision. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with fermentation and aging entirely in stainless steel, a choice that maintains the wine’s purity, freshness, and natural balance.

Food & Serving
Serve at 10–12°C. It pairs beautifully with shellfish, light starters, lean fish, and charcuterie, making it a versatile choice for refined seafood dishes or elegant casual dining. Decanting is not necessary.
