Guímaro 2018 [Red]
Producer: Guímaro
Region: DO Ribeira Sacra

Mostly mencía (85%), the remaining 15% is a blend of caiño, sousón, brancellao, garnacha & negreda. Cold maceration before fermentation (5/6 days), post-fermentation: 4-8 months resting on the lees in tanks.

Bright & fresh with red berry fruit (cherry/red currants), blackberries and a hint of minerals on the nose.
Crisp and refreshing with ample fruit and a touch of background minerality. Easy drinking, most enjoyable and great with food. Very good, excellent value.

Enjoyed this at Ponzano 12, one of my favorite spots in Madrid. Went beautifully with the whole meal, especially the ham croquettes & grilled squid.
