"Innovation, sometimes, is simply going back to the roots"

"A 23-year-old winemaker and an English winemaker could only go wrong." Portuguese winemaker António Maçanita and English consultant and winemaker David Booth met in early 2004. Over the next few months, Antonio was already learning viticulture with David and a great friendship developed. The next step would be to make wine. First wine, first success, with the Alentejo Trophy at the International Wine Challenge, awarded for the second time in 22 years of competition. Fitapreta produces wines that reflect the character of our region, but also what we want it to be. We are so close to deepening our culture and our local castes as we are in changing the world with new challenges, new paths and new blends. We produce each of our wines with the absolute sense of responsibility that we have to love them. And we hope they can share our aesthetics for wine and who knows ... for life.

Wines are made when yeast transform the sugars present in grape juice into alcohol. Cultured yeast have become ever more refined and selected, continuously improving, with clean, specific aromas, giving winemakers a greater level of control. Combined with temperature control, this has permitted a significant increase in the quality of white wines over the years. This Branco de indigenas “White made out of indigenous”, uses neither cultured yeast nor temperature control. It is a lazy winemaking style and it’s actually pretty good! What makes us wonder if we need such an expensive winemaker.
