Fitapreta

Fitapreta began in 2004 with a friendship between Portuguese winemaker António Maçanita and British viticulturist David Booth. The partners initially worked in borrowed cellars, experimenting with Alentejo’s grapes and winemaking traditions. Sandra Sárria later joined the team and became a partner.

Since 2017 the winery has worked from Paço do Morgado de Oliveira outside Évora, a medieval estate whose documented roots reach to 1306. A contemporary cork-clad cellar now stands beside the restored historic buildings. The range explores old grape varieties, mixed vineyards and regional methods, including talha winemaking in clay vessels.
