A blend of 80% Mencía with a mix of Garnacha Tintorera, Albarello, Brancellao, and white grapes making up the remaining 20%. It's juicy and sleek, with bright acidity and a savory granitic minerality. Red raspberry and cherry fruit is accented by a splash of pepper and tomato leaf. Farming is organic, the grapes are all indigenous to the region and fermentation is with native yeast.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 93
"The nose of the 2021 Sílice Tinto is a textbook representation of the reds from the Sil, aromatic, perfumed, floral, expressive and open, and so is the juicy palate, with very fine tannins and balsamic flavors of wild berries and herbs, long and tasty. It was produced with 77% Mencía, 15% Garnacha Tintorera and the rest a mix of grapes, including some Merenzao and white varieties. It fermented with 30% full clusters and matured in a mixture of stainless steel, concrete and a 2,000-liter oak foudre with lees for 16 months. 7,500 bottles were produced. It was bottled in March 2023."
