Vides Singulares, Amnos dei Barrica, Treixadura, VdT Val de Miño-ourense, Galicia, Spain, 2020

Viticulture

From trellised vineyard, within the IGP Val de Miño-Ourense with fruit coming from 45-year-old vines. The winery makes use of natural compost and the land is worked as ecologically as possible. This wine speaks of its specific terroir, from two parcels located in the town of Ferreiros, where all of the vineyard work is carried out by hand.

Winemaking

After the manual harvest the grapes are sorted by hand in the vineyard and then again at the winery. Grapes are de-stemmed and then fermented with native yeasts with a 3 days maceration period. The fermentation lasts for 15 days in 5000 litre stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Aged in old French oak barrels for 6 months. The wine has not been stabilised of clarified, so it is very much a natural wine.

Very perfumed nose, full of jasmine, honeysuckle and some salted lemon and green plum. Structured, flavorful and tight on the palate. A serious, textured orange wine. Drink now. 93 Points, JS, June 2022.
Jancis Robinson 16.5 Points
Very intense with almost a muscat note and so much fruit crammed in. Essence of Treixadura? Peachy but with grip. 16.5 Points, JR, April 2022.
