Quinta de Sant’Ana is where nature’s grit meets winemaking brilliance. In the rugged slopes of Mafra, Atlantic breezes and calcareous clay compel the vines to produce grapes that are nothing short of defiant; each cluster a tiny triumph over adversity. Here, hard work and a deep respect for the land merge into a legacy of authentic, characterful wines. The 2022 Reserva is a vivid expression of this spirit
An elegantly crafted red wine that exemplifies the unique character of Lisbon’s vineyards, from the undulating slopes of Gradil in Mafra. Quinta de Sant’Ana transforms Atlantic-kissed calcareous clay into wines of genuine passion and finesse. The estate’s sustainable practices and meticulous grape selection yield wines that are as expressive as they are memorable.
The winemaking process involves hand-picking the ripest grapes, gentle destemming and crushing, followed by cold maceration and extended pump overs to fully extract vibrant flavours. The wine is then aged for 20 months exclusively in French oak.
This wine delivers a full, juicy texture with refined tannins and firm acidity, promising both immediate enjoyment and long-term ageing potential.
Pairing Suggestions: This Reserva pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, hearty beef stews, mushroom risotto, or robust cheeses.
Tasting Note: Ruby violet in hue with red fruit aromas accented by a hint of menthol and spice, it unfolds a full-bodied, juicy texture with fine tannins, firm acidity, and a long, elegant finish.
