$54.00
45% Caiño, 35% Mencía, 20% Espadeiro
From two organically farmed plots of 5 to 40-year-old vines in the village of Cambados, planted on sandy, decomposed granite soils. The southeast-facing Sobreira plot is trained in the traditional pergola style, and the northwest-facing Lamelas plot is espaldera trained. Vinification Method The grapes were hand-harvested during the last week of August and first week of September, foot-trodden whole cluster and skin macerated for 6 hours before being racked into one 500L used chestnut cask. The wine fermented and aged on its lees for 10 months, with weekly battonage for the first 3 months. Bottled without stabilization or clarification, and with only a gentle mechanical filtration and small addition of SO2. The wine aged an additional 9-10 months in bottle before release.
