Tinta Negra dos Villões

Widely regarded as one of the most dynamic young winemakers in Portugal, António Maçanita crafts wines from the Azores archipelago to Alentejo, and now to Porto Santo, a small island off Madeira. He excels at capturing the essence of the regional terroir and traditions.

This latest project was created with his friend of 15 years, Nuno Faria, a Madeiran and restaurateur. The adventuresome duo have joined forces to explore the potential of these magical islands.

This Tinta Negra (also known as Saborinho in the Azores and Molar in Colares) is planted very close to the sea, and was 30% whole bunch, native fermented with 40 days of skin contact and aging 8 months in French barrels. This lighter red (11.5%) matches its lighter crimson hue, and crunchy red currant, rhubarb, and tight red florals. Tannins are fine and sticky, while acidity is marine fresh, with lashes of salinity through the snappy finish. Adventuresome. 7,398 bottles.

“From Porto Fino, and island close to Madeira. Light, fresh and expressive with pure redcurrant and red cherry fruit with a nice mineral tension. So pure and fine with good brightness. Expressive, but also polished and pure.” 94/100. Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak
