The wine "Os Granitos 2023", produced by António Madeira, achieved the maximum score of 100 points awarded by American critic James Suckling. This rating represents the highest possible distinction on the evaluation scale used by the renowned wine critic.
António Madeira is a producer who works with old vines located in the Serra da Estrela, a mountainous region in central Portugal known for its unique conditions for grape cultivation. Ancient vines are particularly valued in wine production for producing grapes with greater concentration of flavors and complexity.
