Rosé of Touriga Nacional, Maçanita

This Maçanita Touriga Nacional Rosé 2023 presents a pale pink hue, enriched with cherry nuances, and exudes an intensely fruity aroma, dominated by ripe strawberry. Upon tasting, it surprises with its unexpected texture and freshness.

Maçanita Vinhos embodies the passion and expertise of two brothers and winemakers who join forces to create unique wines. While many of their wines are the result of collaborative work, some reflect the personal inclinations, whims, or individual perspectives of each brother. One of their standout creations is the Touriga Nacional, a variety they elevate to new heights, showcasing its majestic floral and aromatic expression, this time in an unparalleled Rosé version.

Harvesting is a meticulous process, carried out manually with grapes packed into 20kg boxes. At the winery, the bunches undergo rigorous selection on a sorting table, after which the grapes are gently pressed.

The process avoids the use of pumps to transport the must to fermentation tanks, preserving the juice’s integrity. Fermentation occurs spontaneously at a controlled temperature of 12ºC, a strategy that ensures maximum retention of the grape’s distinctive aromatic profile.
