A Senda Vermella Cosecha 17/18
Descripción
Un tinto gallego muy original ya que no cuenta con añada porque se han unido en una misma botella los vinos resultantes de las añadas 2017 y 2018. Cada añada ha sido vinificada de manera distinta en algunos apuntes y el resultado ha sido un fresquísimo vino que es ideal para disfrutar de un tinto en plena canícula veraniega. El 80% de la mezcla proviene de la añada 2018 y el restante 20% de la 2017.

Opinión de los críticos
Their first red from Rías Baixas is the NV A Senda Vermella, an unusual blend of 80% wine from 2018 and 20% from 2017 (the cork reads 17/18), which is 60% Caíño and 40% Mencía from different parts of the Salnés, but it's sold without appellation of origin. There's only 10.9% alcohol, and it has a very clear green strike and pungent herbal flavors that somehow give it a strong umami sensation. It's definitely green in the best possible sense, and light to medium-bodied with very fine tannins. It fermented with 100% foot-trodden clusters for some 20 days, mostly in used barrels but with 20% of the volume in stainless steel. The 2017 part was in stainless steel and oak for 22 months, and the 2018 part aged exclusively in tank for 10 months. Very unusual, a red of strong character. It's a red that grows on you, better the second and third time, and always better with food. 3,883 bottles were filled in August 2019. - Luis Gutiérrez.
