Macanita Tinto 2019
Red Blends from Douro, Portugal
Winemaker Notes
Concentrated violet ruby color, intense nose, with ripe fruit and floral notes, combined with the aroma of red fruit. Full bodied, round, with good persistence.
Wine Advocate – 90 Points
The 2019 Tinto is a 55/20 blend of Touriga Nacional and Sousão, with the remaining 25% a field blend from old vines (80+ years), unoaked and coming in at 13.4% alcohol. This is not the most interesting red of this group, but it is reasonably priced in this lineup. It has a bold, fruit-forward demeanor and a real backbone. Most of all, though, it puts that into a precise package with good acidity and a balanced demeanor. On the finish, it has some plums and strawberries mingled together. This is nicely done at a good price. Best After 2022
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled and roasted meat, richer game dishes, and even zucchini brownies.
