THE VINEYARD: The Merenzao grapes come from our tiny “Los Carismáticos” vineyard, which, at just over half an acre, is situated on the south bank of the River Bibei in the village of As Ermitas, located in the northern part of Valdeorras. The vineyard is planted in terraces shaped like an amphiteathre, and has poor, shallow and sandy soils consisting of decomposed granite. The vineyard terraces are made of stone and were hand-built in the 19th century; the vines themselves are more than 50 years old. The vineyard is subject to a wide variety of climatic exposures. The mountainous relief of the area means that the only way to work the soil is either manually or with animals.
Sustainable viticulture techniques are in place.
WINEMAKING: The harvest is carried out manually by hand, allowing for rigid grape selection. The grapes are transported in 15-kilogram crates. Spontaneous fermentation in foudre of 25hl., starting with whole grape bunches, removing the stem progressively. Natural yeasts are being used.
VINTAGE:
TASTING NOTES: Los Carismáticos is the tale of the recovery of a not-very-appreciated variety, Merenzao, whose wines the local old folk talk about as the most savory and the one they chose to vinify at home for their own consumption. Los Carismáticos is more delicate than other reds from this region and is made with limited extraction and intervention. Its profile is not at all exuberant. It is also known in Valdeorras as Godello Negro, and elsewhere as Trousseau or Trousseau Noir.
