Origin Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain Varieties 85% Mencía, 12% Garnacha Tintorera, 3% other varieties (Brancellao, Merenzao, Grao Negro, etc). Vineyard From a single vineyard of 80-100-year-old vines at 350- 450m, planted on dark gneiss and quartz, with richer ironrich clay soils that are atypical for the area. This is the last site to be harvested, ripening very slowly and more influenced by the Atlantic. Vinification Method The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented wholecluster in open-top fermenters without temperature control. Maceration lasted roughly 25 days. The wine then rested in 500L and 228L barrels of used French Oak before being bottled without fining or filtering.
