The wine region of Ribeira Sacra
Galician DO of heroic viticulture on the vertiginous slopes of the Miño and Sil canyons, terraces among Europe's steepest. Mencía signature Atlantic red: fine and fresh with signature notes of raspberry, sour cherry, violet, fresh herbs, black pepper and slate mineral touch, delicate tannins and lively acidity — drinkable and elegant, a world away from warm Spanish reds. Taut Godello and saline Albariño in whites. Atlantic climate, schistous soils.
The wine region of Galice
Oceanic northwest Spain, cradle of the great Iberian whites. Signature Albarino of Rias Baixas: lively, saline whites with signature notes of citrus, white peach, white flowers, fresh almond and iodine minerality, a taut palate — a perfect match for Atlantic seafood. Also premium Godello (pear, citrus, butter), aromatic Treixadura. Supple Mencia reds (raspberry, herbs, graphite).
The word of the wine: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
