Fitapreta Ancestral Branco 2025


Style:

A traditional yet fresh Alentejo white, combining old-vine complexity with a balanced, elegant profile. Textured and food-friendly, with both richness and precision

Vineyard:

Located in Alentejo, sourced from old field-blend vineyards planted on granite and schist soils. Poor soils and old vines naturally limit yields, enhancing concentration while maintaining freshness.

Winery:

Hand-harvested grapes, whole-bunch pressed and fermented with native yeasts. Vinified mainly in stainless steel with a small proportion in neutral oak, followed by short lees aging to enhance texture and complexity.

Production:

~40 000 bottles

Nose/Palate:

Citrus, stone fruit, light herbal notes, and subtle minerality on the nose, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with a rounded yet fresh profile, citrus and orchard fruit flavors, delicate herbal and mineral nuances, and a textured, balanced, persistent finish.

Fitapreta

Fitapreta is a dynamic, modern winery based in Alentejo, founded by winemaker António Maçanita with a mission to rediscover and reinterpret the region’s historic identity. Working from a restored 14th-century estate near Évora, the project blends deep research into ancient vineyards and indigenous grape varieties with a fresh, innovative approach.

Fitapreta focuses on reviving old field blends, traditional winemaking techniques, and forgotten local grapes, while farming with care and precision to reflect the diversity of Alentejo’s terroir. In the cellar, the philosophy is flexible and experimental - combining modern methods with ancestral practices such as fermentation in clay amphorae.

The wines are vibrant, characterful, and distinctly different from the region’s more conventional style - showing freshness, structure, and a strong sense of place. Fitapreta stands out as one of the most exciting contemporary voices in Alentejo, bridging heritage and innovation.
