Fento Wines Xabre 2016
Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, SpainFrom northern Spain's historical Ribeira Sacra region, Xabre is a blend of native grapes grown in the Quiroga-Bibei sub-area. This blend of 15-80 year old mencía, sousón, mouratón and garnacha vines is planted between an altitude, with vines planted on granite, clay, and slate terraces from 300-700m. This was fermented and aged for 10 months in used French oak barrels, 6 more months in foudres, and in bottle for one year prior to release. Deep herbal plum, wild blueberries, pomegranate, fragrant iris fill the smoothed, medium-bodied palate, framed with lightly tuggy tannins, and carried by an easy swell of acidity. The finish lingers with stony minerality. Drinking beautifully now.Tasted: 23 October 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $27.95 | 750ml | consignment |
