Fedellos, As Xaras 2023, Ribeira Sacra
5 in stock
Grapes come from two young Mencia vineyards on sloping terraces at 550-650 metres above sea level, on opposite sides of the river Xares, a tributary of the Bibei. Soils are mainly granite and metamorphic rocks with schist and quartz. The climate is continental, although proximity to the Atlantic makes this area quite humid with around 800 mm of rain each year.
Floral, with a deep plummy nose. Juicy, with sweet fruit, mouthwatering finish, and reasonably prominent graphite tannin.
