2019 Daterra Viticultores 'Gavela Do Pobo'' Galicia, Spain
$35.00
100% Palomino from a plot of old vines planted on schist and slate soils in Soutipedre, a small subsection of Manzaneda. Slate soils, older vines, and lower elevation distinguish ‘Do Pobo’ from ‘Da Vila’ – sheltered by the twists of the mountains, this site has a more continental climate, with cooler nights. Like the Gavela Da Vila, it seems that this was a balanced vintage for Gavela do Pobo. Grapes are destemmed and fermented in amphorae with ~2 weeks of maceration on the skins. Raised on lees for 11 months in the same vessel. No clarification, cold stabilization, filtration. 8-10ppm SO2.
