A Seara Ribeira Sacra Field Blend

Nacho's first wine from the Val do Bibei in Ribeira Sacra, an area that shares many traits with his home area of Larouco. This is a field blend of 60% red (Mouratón, Mencía, Garnacha Tintorera) and 40% white grapes (Godello, Palomino, Doña Blanca) harvested together and cofermented. Like his other red wines, the grapes are hand- harvested, de-stemmed, and fermented with their skins in open-top plastic fermenters for about 20 days without temperature control. As fermentation proceeds, Nacho gradually removes the skins until just the must remains about half-way through. Fermentation completed, the wine is pressed to used barrels to rest before being bottled without fining, filtration or added SO2.
