Description

An exceptional wine. On the light side of full-bodied, the emphasis is on subtle perfume, delicate richness and real depth of flavour.  

Bright straw in colour, it exhibits a cooling freshness with a citrus flavour on the nose and palate.Complex and fresh with layers of aromatic herbs and mint and pleasant scented hints of yellow flowers. Clean attack on the palate with a full texture yet refreshing, balanced and well-structured.

While this winery is not certified organic, they never use herbicides or systemic fungicides.

The Producer

 

Finca Viñoa

Is located in Bangam D.O. Ribeiro, province of Ourense.

Finca Viñoa is an ambitious project started 20 years ago by José and Javier González. Their aim was to recover the terroir and the grapes of the region. They spoke to the elderly from each village, visiting the farms that gave the region its fame and fortune. This way, they began to rebuild plots in 2001.

They currently work with more than 20 hectares divided into three farms, Finca do Cabildo, Sobreiriña and Finca Viñoa. This last one gives the name to the project.

Once the vineyards were recovered, in 2011, with the vinification of their first white wine Finca Viñoa, they started to produce unique wines of the highest quality.

Finca Viñoa Tinto is made from Caiño Longo, Souson and Brancellao from the farms Finca do Cabildo and Finca Viñoa.  Vines were 13 years old on soils comprised of granite sands and slate schists.

Grapes are manually harvested and placed in small boxes. Once the harvest arrives at the winery, the grapes remain in a cold chamber at 5ºC for 12 hours. After being selected on a vibrating selection table, the grapes a de-stemmed by hand. All the grapes are placed in stainless steel deposits where they undergo a cold maceration for 12 days. Once the maceration has finished, it goes through alcoholic fermentation in 500-litre barrels. The ageing will depend on each vintage.

Finca Viñoa Tinto is a complex, fluid and amiable wine. It stands out for its fruitiness and a marked mineral character, which make it a true reflection of the terroir where it is born.
