Regueirón
Regueirón is a wine from the homonymous plot in Val do Galir, with clay loam and slate soils, benefiting from optimal sun exposure and good acidity. It is made with a manual harvest, fermented in French oak barrels and foudre, and aged for 11 months. It has a straw yellow color, complex nose with floral and mineral notes, and a fresh and persistent mouthfeel.
Characteristics of the vineyard
Regueirón is the name of the 0.42 ha plot from which the grapes for this wine come from. It is located in the easternmost area of Valdeorras, on the terraces of our vineyards in the village of Entoma - Val do Galir. South and southeast facing, with a 40% slope that favors good sun exposure and aeration, and clay loam and slate soils.
Earlier ripening, but with a marked Atlantic character due to its good acidity.
The soils are deep, but with good nutrient and mineral retention. Part of the minerals supplied to the roots are favored by the decomposition by erosion of the superficial slate.
Sustainable viticulture is carried out.
Winemaking characteristics
Manual harvest in 15 kg boxes, maceration in cold storage for 24 hours, selection table before pneumatic pressing prior to obtaining the must and fermentation in new French oak barrels (500 liters) and foudre, 11 months of aging between barrels and foudre. Fermentation with autochthonous yeast.
Harvest data
The 2022 harvest began the first week of September, marked by a dry and warm spring and summer, with slightly high temperatures during the day and cool at night, with earlier budbreak than in the 2021. Moderate alcoholic ripening, with good Ph and excellent fruit health, we believe this is the year of purity.
Low yields as a result of the drought.
Tasting Notes
Straw yellow color with a clean and bright greenish rim.
The nose is intense, delicate, complex with hints of scrubland, floral and mineral.
Fresh in the mouth, with nerve and persistence.
