O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2019
A red that impresses at the first aromatic impact, served by very elegant fruit, with delicate notes of flowers and wild strawberries. The mouth keeps the fine and expressive register, based on the purity of the fruit and the polishing of the whole. Beautiful acidity gives lightness and freshness, light bitter vegetables prolong the finish
Mafarrico is a wine by winemaker Álvaro Martinho Lopes. Produced in very limited quantities, these wines rigorously reflect the elegance and finesse of this terroir. At its core, this is a project of ‘garage wines’ in the oldest wine region in the world.
It is in the Baixo Corgo that Maquia is born, from a viticultural heritage consisting mainly of very old vineyards with distinct locations (4.5 ha south-facing and 3 ha east-facing), altitudes between 200 and 350 meters, and very steep soils.
These vineyards were built in the past by ‘hand and iron’ and have very low yields and a complex blend of grape varieties. Álvaro Martinho Lopes practices sustainable viticulture where biodiversity and landscaping are framed in a unique setting.
