The Character
Tasting Notes Rivulets of violet compliment a deep ruby core. Floral and fruit aromatics of violets and black raspberries on the nose, with lilting notes of toast and spice. On the palate, lush and ripe, with abundant fresh black currant berries and brambleberry. The mid palate shows the minerality and a touch of smoke, with considerable length.
Pairings Coffee crusted prime rib of beef, blue cheeses
Sustainability Vegan, Natural Fermentation
The Story
Carta da Fitapreta stands out against commercially produced wines from Alentejo since it is composed from only the highest quality fruit from hand harvested, mature estate vineyards and vinified with minimal intervention. The three varieties are fermented separately and expertly blended for an exuberant, lifted expression of sun-drenched Alentejo.
About Fitapreta
Producer Story
Maçanita launched his first winery in 2004 in the Évora district of Alentejo with his friend and mentor, the British viticulturalist David Booth. From the start, Fitapreta Vinhos set out to bring a fine wine mentality to this prolific yet rustic wine region. Booth passed away suddenly quite early in the partnership, but Fitapreta today reflects his legacy: the winery has become one of the preeminent estates in this ancient Roman viticultural area.
