This wine shows the potential of this grape varietal, in its pure and mineral side, embracing at the same time all its fruit and
exhuberance. It’s Joaninha’s Gouveio.
Joana Maçanita is a dynamo. Her energy, intense focus and passion for every facet of life are infectious—and nowhere is this more apparent than in the wines she makes. Her dedication to her craft is eclipsed only by her talent, and her project in the Douro Valley is a perfect showcase for her full-speed-ahead, accept-no-substitutes style. Working with her brother Antonio, Joana sources from old vineyards spread across the three subzones of the Douro Valley. In search of freshness and minerality above all else, Joana uses classic Douro grape varieties, sourced from plots planted at high altitudes. The wines that result are balanced, elegant, and a transparent expression of true Douro terroir.
Food pairing

Two thousand and eleven is the starting year of Maçanita Vinhos, a brother and a sister, two winemakers from the Douro region. Joana Maçanita and António Maçanita were like strangers in this vast region full of tradition, customs and techniques. The Maçanita's arrived in the Douro with a white sheet, eager to explore and reveal the diversity of the Douro. During all these years, Maçanita Vinhos has made known through its wines the diversity of the terroir of the Douro region in its purest and most faithful form.
Maçanita Vinhos has no style, it has no style of its own, it respects and is a faithful messenger of the Douro terroirs, a vision of the Douro à Maçanita.
