O Gran Meín Tinto 2020

The red 2020 O Gran Mein Tinto was produced with a blend of 61% Caíño Longo, from slate and clay soils that provide structure and length while keeping the freshness, and 39% Brancellao, from sandy soils that deliver very delicate and pale wines. The don't have certifications yet (they are looking into that, but it's not easy because of the many neighbors working with chemicals...), but the vines are worked organically and some biodynamic treatments are applied. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in neutral oak barrels and stainless steel for 10 months. It feels a little closed and shy, serious and harmonious. The palate is balanced, subtly tannic and with a touch of earthiness. It opens up with time in the glass to beautiful aromas of wild herbs, berries and flowers. 1,810 bottles, 200 magnums and five three-liter bottles were produced.
