2021 Tinto Fitapreta
£19.50
“Deep purplish crimson. Pure black fruit and crushed stones. Dry, chewy, paper-fine texture. A herbaceous note, which Maçanita says is hexanol. Light, dry tannins. Fresh and lively. Scented and dusty at the same time. That greenness is the freshness, too.”
16.5/20 Julia Harding MW for Jancis Robinson MW

Product Description
A wine redolent of Portuguese sunshine, and the unique terroir of the Alenetjo. A blend of indigenous varieties, Aragones, Trincadeira and Alicante Bouschet from sites planted in the late 70s-80s on rocky, schist soils. the fruit has a jewel-like shimmer and glossy lift that is so beguiling. Plump, generously aromatic blueberry and blackberry compote on crunchy toast, encircled by some crushed violets and lavender, all resolving into a wonderfully mineral pinpoint finish. Effortless but attractively grippy – so much fun.
