Macanita Viosinho Branco 2022

Maçanita Viosinho Branco 2022 is a distinctive white wine from Portugal’s Douro Valley, showcasing the character of the rare native Viosinho grape. Fresh, precise, and quietly complex, it reflects António Maçanita’s talent for bringing out the personality of Portugal’s indigenous varieties while giving them a modern, polished expression.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright straw-yellow color that hints at its lively style. The nose is fragrant and inviting, with citrus fruits, green apple, and delicate floral notes leading the way. The palate is fresh and energetic, balancing crisp acidity with clean fruit flavors of lemon and green pear. A subtle mineral edge adds definition and length to the finish, giving the wine a refined, taut feel. While it is ready to enjoy now for its brightness and purity, it should also hold its character well over the next few years.

Production
Made from Viosinho, an old and relatively rare grape in the Douro, this wine benefits from the region’s warm climate and granite-rich soils. These conditions help preserve freshness while enhancing the grape’s naturally aromatic and mineral profile. Maçanita’s approach is focused on careful vineyard work and vinification that highlights the grape’s native identity rather than masking it with heavy winemaking.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for fish, shellfish, light starters, and grilled vegetables. Serve chilled at around 8-10°C to bring out its freshness and aromatics. Decanting is not necessary, though a short time in the glass will help the wine open up beautifully.
