Tasting Notes

Vibrant and clear purplish red colour. Intense bouquet, very fresh with predominantly berry and floral (violet) notes. Powerful and sweet on the palate. Spacious, fresh and creamy. The tannins are ripe and rounded. Reappearance of berry, ripe fruit, and floral as well as spicy notes. Long, persistent finish.

Winery

Founded in 1998 by Fernando González and his wife Ana Pérez 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.
