Winemaking characteristics
Manual harvest in 15 kg boxes. Maceration of the grapes in boxes in a refrigerated cooler and in tank 72 hours prior to alcoholic fermentation. Destemming and no crushing of the grapes to favor the primary aromas.
Fermentation with indigenous yeast.
Aged in 500-litre French oak casks for 12 months.
Harvest data
The vintage in the Val do Galir was marked by a cold winter with little rain, the spring continued to be cold, but with some moderate rainfall, which caused a slightly later budbreak than in 2020, mid-April.
The summer was mild in temperatures and dry, which leads us to believe that this could be a great vintage due to moderate alcohol content and generous natural acidity in the fruit.
The grapes were harvested in the second week of September.
Tasting Notes
Bigarreau cherry red with garnet rims.
High aromatic intensity, rich in fruit and mineral expression, toasted wood and ripe fruit background. Tasty palate, very ripe tannins and adequate acidity, hints of ripe bunches and skins. Long and elegant.
Perfect companion for the Mediterranean diet and local products such as botillo, sausages, stews..
Serving temperature 16ºC.
