- A complex nose with an array of aromas from violet, lilac, black pepper, and ripe berried fruits to delicate mineral tones. Harmoniously balanced with a rounded palate full of fresh, sweet, and opulent fruit, this is an elegant wine with fine tannins and a long, intense finish full of character.
The grapes were carefully selected and vinified in stainless steel open tanks. In order to respect the fruit, the cap was manually punched down using a ‘bazuqueo’, a wooden disc used to plunge the solids through the juice to extract the colour and flavour. This was followed by a light pressing using a manual spindle press. Malolactic conversion started in vat and was completed in barrel. The wine was matured for 14 months in 500 litre barrels, previously used once for white wine.

Winery | The vineyards are situated in the heart of DO Ribeiro in north western Spain. Consisting of several indigenous varieties to Galicia, including Ferrol and Sousan, the vines vary in age from 70 to 90 years and are planted at a density of 1.25 metres by 1.25 metres. These old vines are low yielding, with deep root systems that impart complex flavours and result in soft, sweet tannins in the wine. The vineyards sit at an altitude of 180 to 350 metres and the soils are a mix of clay and schist. The harvest took place manually. |
