Aromas of smoke, ash and limes follow through to a medium body with an intense core of flavor at the end and creamy texture that is frame by energetic acidity. Really well done. Drink now.

A traditional Portuguese field blend of 28 different varietals. Lush blue fruit notes are apparent upfront with subtle plum notes. The bouquet has a lovely floral aspect that holds your attention. On the palate the tannins and fruit are seamless from the first sip. The tannins are a bit chalky which adds another element to the wine. No oak, combination of concrete then stainless steel, results in a juicy easy drinking red that begs to be paired with bbq.

A change of owners (from King Estate to Foley Family) has not changed the success or style of this high-volume wine. Strikingly fresh, textural and minerally, this offers crisp flavors of celery, grapefruit and lime. Excellent length and mouth-tingling freshness make it a wine to drink over the next year.

Cortezada is a single vineyard along a tributary of the Sil that enters the Sil from the South. The vineyard faces largely West and is planted with Godello, Albarino and Treixadura.
The vineyards are very steep and terraced. All work is done by hand and following organic and biodynamic ideas. Fermentation takes place with wild yeast in stainless steel tanks. The wine ages without lees in the tank for 6 months and then in bottle.

Tastes like "Spanish White Burgundy."

The textbook varietal 2019 Mencia shows the rustic personality of the region through the grapes from different places. They were very happy with the conditions of the 2019 vintage, as it was warmer and drier than 2018, which meant healthier grapes. It has a moderate 13% alcohol and very good freshness for a grape that does not have very high acidity. It fermented with indigenous yeasts, with 15 to 20 days of maceration, and it was bottled unoaked. It's nicely textured, pleasant and juicy, not terribly complex but really pleasant. They have filled 17,280 bottles in two batches so far, but more will come to complete around 70,000 bottles.

Deep red. Spice-accented red berries and cherry on the nose, along with a subtle floral nuance that builds with air. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering lively raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that fan out through the back half. Finishes silky and long, with lingering spiciness and discreet tannins that add gentle grip.
