We are in the rugged and dramatic Ribeira Sacra in the interior of Galicia, a transitory zone between the Atlantic and the dry, hot Castilian inland. The soils here are decomposed granite and schist. Couto is a small settlement in the Sil valley, and in Galician “fedellos” means something like punks. Lu\u00eds, Pablo, Curro and Jes\u00fas might call themselves punks, but their wines are fine-tuned, and quite complex too.<\/p>\n

Lomba dos Ares (meaning the “hilltop of Ares”) is a steep vineyard in the Bibei sub-zone at 700-750 meters. In this particular place there is granite soils higher up that changes to sandy schist further down. The varieties planted here are a.o. menc\u00eda, merenzao (bastardo or trousseau), cai\u00f1o, mourat\u00f3n (garnacha tintorera), noen of them dominating. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in whole clusters in steel, and with a long and gentle maceration with pigeage. Later it was aged in neutral French oak.<\/p>\n

Lomba dos Ares 2017<\/strong> (Fedellos do Couto)<\/em><\/p>\n

Light red. Cool aroma of flowers and red berries (cherry, raspberry), and behind is a next layer of smoke, pine and herbs. Juicy in the mouth, but with fine-grained tannins and some concentration, good fruit all the way and an elegant integrated acidity. Some ageing potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
