Description
The Macanita Douro Tinto is made from hand-harvested grapes and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel. Roughly 50% of this tasty red wine is matured in used French oak barrels for 9–12 months, adding a polished complexity while keeping the fruit expression to the fore. A hands off approach to winemaking helps the Douro’s rugged terroir to speak clearly.
The wine itself is bold yet refined, 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.
The Maçanita Vinhos project was created by characterful siblings, Joana and António Maçanita, in the Douro back in 2011. Having worked together in over 14 wineries around the country, they wanted the new project to reflect their experiences and aspirations: lots of laughter, lots of arguments and an ethos of questioning the existing way of doing things. Over the intervening years, Maçanita Vinhos have managed to encompass the diversity of the terroir of the Douro Valley in its purest and most faithful form. The wines of Maçanita express each facet of this spectacular landscape: the “high-altitude Douro”, the “hot schist Douro”, the “cold granite Douro” all through indigenous grape varieties from old vines and a non-interventionist approach.

2023 Beaujolais Villages ‘Cuvee Six’, Caves De Julienas Chaintre
Gamay
The Beaujolais Villages 'Cuvee Six' from Caves De Julienas Chaintre just gets better and better with each vintage, showing soft, rounded red fruits and vibrant cherry flavours. Complex enough to make one sit up and think yet easy going and supple at the same time. Great for lighter lunches and it can also be chilled lightly when the weather warms up!

2020 Chateau Saransot-Dupre, Listrac Medoc, Magnum
Bordeaux Blend
Chateau Saransot-Dupre is a favourably sited 17 hectares property that lies between Fourcas Dupré and Fourcas Hosten in Listrac. Due to Listrac’s cooler temperatures, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are favoured over Cabernet Sauvignon to form the majority of the blend, helping them achieve optimum ripeness. Much like Chateau Fourcas Hosten, the wines have improved year on year since 2010 and the property were put on the radar thanks to a certain Robert Parker hailing the 2010 vintage as 'classed growth quality'. High praise indeed!
