Vibrant dark cherry red in colour. Great aromatic intensity of fresh red fruits, balsamic and sweet spice. Red fruit aromas are balanced by subtle toasted notes from 6 months ageing in oak. Silky tannins and a soft fruity finish, this is a well-structured, mouth-wateringly fresh red wine.
VINEYARDS: Soils in these high altitude vineyards with a 30% inclination are mostly slate.
VINTAGE: The 2022 harvest in Val do Galir for the mencía grape started in the second week of September, marked by a dry and warm spring and summer, with slightly high temperatures during the day and cool at night, with ealier bud break than in 2021. Moderate alcoholic ripening, with good Ph and excellent fruit health, we believe it is the year of purity. Low yields as a result of drought.
WINEMAKING:Cold maceration of the grapes in scale fridges and of the must 48 hours before alcoholic fermentation. Destemmed but not pressed in order to preserve the primary aromas. 8 months barrel ageing in French and American oak.
- Enjoy with:
- Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
- Pizza/Pasta
- Casseroles/Stews
- Mild Creamy Cheeses
- Mature Strong Cheeses
- A perfect match for rice dishes, game or chocolate.
