Winemakers António Maçanita & James Frost

Background Quinta de Sant’Ana is located just 30 minutes north of Lisbon. The winery is run by James Frost and António Maçanita, who produce organic wines on calcareous clay soil. António’s original and sometimes daring approach results in wines that are both traditional and surprisingly innovative for Portugal. The vineyards are located close to the Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for the production of refined and fresh wines with a distinct character.

Vineyards Organic and in conversion to biodynamic. Gently sloping, south-facing, and with deep, fertile soils.

Harvest Manual

Vinification The grapes are hand-selected and harvested. They arrive at the cellar in 20 kg crates to prevent damage. Upon arrival, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. They are then carefully transported to the tanks via a conveyor belt. After a cold maceration, alcoholic fermentation begins. This is followed by a long skin maceration, with regular pump-overs for extra extraction and structure. The wine is aged entirely in French oak barrels for 20 months.
