Maker's Notes
Maker's Notes
The 2022 vintage in Ribeira Sacra experienced warm and dry conditions, leading to lower yields but high-quality grapes.
This resulted in a wine with expressive red fruit aromas, including cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle floral notes of violet and delicate hints of light wood. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a balanced structure. The wine is bone dry, showcasing pure fruit flavors. Moderate tannins provide a gentle grip, while high acidity imparts freshness and vibrancy. The finish is smooth and lingering. The moderate alcohol content (around 12.5%) ensures balance and drinkability.
This profile reflects the elegance and freshness characteristic of Mencía-based wines from Ribeira Sacra, with the small addition of Garnacha Tintorera enhancing color intensity and adding subtle complexity.
