Description
This is Fedellos’ most unique wine, made from 100% Merenzao (known as Bastarda in Portugal and Trousseau in the Jura) grown on the slopes of the rivers Sil and Bibei. Racy and lifted, with a red-fruit nose with lovely peppery notes and sour cherry fruit.
The vineyards are located in the Northwest Spain’s region of Galicia, on terraces along the steep slopes of the rivers Sil and Bibei at between 550 and 750 metres above sea level. Soils consist of decomposed granite, schist and sand. The climate is continental, although proximity to the Atlantic Ocean makes this area more humid and rainy than most of Spain, with around 800 mm of rain falling each year.
The vines are between 15 to 70 years old. Viticulture is organic and the vines are untrained and worked manually.
The wines undergo long gentle maceration and are fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and whole bunches at low temperatures to favour a gentle extraction of colour and phenolics. They are then aged in old barrels, mainly 500l demi-muids, and are bottled unfined, unfiltered and with the addition of low quantities of sulphur.
