Xanledo 2020 [Red]
Producer: Viñedos do Gabian
Region: Vinos de España

A blend of caiño longo (60%) with 40% brancellao & espadeiro grown on "sábrego" (decomposed granite) soils. Fermented in open topped 500 liter barrels, nurtured 10 months in French oak barrels.

Light color (pinot-like) with fascinating aromas of fresh berries, rose petals, peppery spice, a hint of leather with a sandy mineral background.
Silky smooth tannins, bright & fresh on the palate with floral notes, berries and a mineral-laden finish. An excellent bottle of wine, highly recommended.

Grown in the Ribeiro region, but not DO, labeled Viñedos de España.
