Martiñolo As Travesas (2019) Red

A blend of 90% Merenzao and 10% Brancellao from the “As Covas” plot at 270m elevation, North facing vineyards with soils of clay / alluvium / slate / stones from the Sil River. Hand harvested, spontaneous fermentation and aged for 14 months in used French barrels followed by 6 months in stainless and bottled in December 2020.

Fresh, floral, light violet colored, with very fruity, silky, delightful mouthfeel. Somewhat ‘crunchy’ in that characteristic Galician red way, truly a beautiful wine.
