Algueira "FINCAS" Ribeira Sacra (souson & Caino)
| Vintage: | 2015 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Founded in 1998 by Fernando Gonzlez and his wife Ana Prez in the Amandi subzone. Their 22 acres of land include the majestic Carballocovo plot, a true landmark in Ribeira Sacra. Southern exposure, schist soils, heroic viticulture and a humble winemaking that relies in the natural process (ambient yeasts, spontaneous malolactic fermentation), foot-crushing, fermenting in open vats with a judicious amount of stems, and using old neutral oak as a general rule. Fincas is made with very Atlantic varieties such as Cao and Sousn, with clusters on foot, macerations of 15 days and aging for 12-15 months in chestnut and French oak barrels of 225 and 300 liters. Details Soils: Slate Orientation: South Climate: Mediterranean microclimate. Elaboration Crushed with the feet in wooden barrels 300l. Fermentation with the same 100% scratch without yeast inoculation. Devatting, pressing and completion of Mlf and Fal in barrel. Aging 11 months in French oak. Tasting The wine has garnet red color with a marked violet rim of middle layer, with very balsamic notes of the menthol range, red fruit and orange rust. It is a spicy character reminiscent of the Galician Atlantic forest (oak inflorescences, nettle). On the palate it is lively wine, with a crispy, citric and persistent tannin has a very meaty finish. |
