Fitapreta Homenagem David Booth 2022

Style:

A powerful, structured, and age-worthy Alentejo red. Concentrated and complex, with a classic profile focused on depth, oak integration, and long aging potential.

Vineyard:

Located in Alentejo, sourced from vineyards planted on schist and granite soils. The warm, dry climate combined with poor soils ensures low yields, concentration, and structure.

Winery:

Hand-harvested grapes, followed by spontaneous fermentation with long maceration. Aged for approximately 24 months in French oak barrels (partially new), with additional time in tank before release, enhancing complexity and integration.

Production:

~3000 bottles.

Nose/Palate:

Blackberries, plums, cocoa, coffee, spice, and subtle earthy notes on the nose, followed by a full-bodied and well-structured palate with ripe black fruit, cocoa, spice, refined oak influence, firm integrated tannins, and a long, dry, 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.
