Maçanita Sousão - Red Wine

Maçanita Sousão - Red Wine is a single-varietal wine made from Sousão grapes from the Porto and Douro regions, produced by Maçanita. Made exclusively from this emblematic grape variety, it stands out for its strong identity and faithful expression of the Douro, revealing the intense character and unique personality of Sousão.

In the glass, it presents a deep and elegant ruby color, one of the most distinctive characteristics of this variety. The aroma shows freshness and clarity, anticipating an enveloping tasting experience. On the palate, it emerges with a velvety attack, good volume and balance, evolving consistently to a persistent finish. It is a red wine with presence, but also with precision, capable of harmoniously combining intensity and freshness.

According to available information, the grapes are harvested by hand and the wine ferments in lagares (traditional stone troughs) with cold maceration, followed by 11 months of aging in new French oak barrels. This profile makes it particularly interesting at the table, pairing well with stews, game dishes, or lamb. A safe choice for those seeking a Douro wine focused on the purity of the Sousão grape variety.
