Listrão dos Profetas António Maçanita 2021 is a single-varietal white wine from the Porto Santo region of Madeira, crafted by renowned winemaker António Maçanita. This wine is produced from 100% Listrão grapes, sourced from over 80-year-old vineyards characterised by sandy clay and limestone soils. The grapes undergo hand-harvesting, whole-bunch pressing and fermentation with wild yeasts in used 228-litre French oak barrels. It ages on the lees for 10 months. Expect a layered, concentrated white wine with flavours that include saline and mineral notes along with a textural, persistent finish.

The 2021 Listrão dos Profetas Vinho do P. Santo is all Listrão (a.k.a. Palomino Fino) aged for 10 months in used French oak. It comes in nicely dry and at 12.4% alcohol. This is vaguely similar to the winery`s Caracol in this report, with perhaps more cashews than almonds, but here the texture is more sensual. That might be the biggest difference between them. Neither is a lush or rich wine, and both rely on acidity and structure more than a fruity demeanor. The Caracol can seem a bit brighter, while this struck me as slightly richer; however, it is close, and all that is relative. There are still interesting flavor nuances here, like those toasted nuts, and the acidity is well integrated. It`s hard to pick between the two, as they are different sides of the same coin, but if pressed, I`d take this first. Ultimately, the answer will depend on how they develop and whether there is further improvement. This should age pretty well, but let`s be conservative for the moment. There were 2,800 bottles produced.
