Luis A. Rodriguez Vazquez A Torna Dos Pasas Ribeiro Red Blend 2016 (1500ml)

Luis Rodriguez is one of the most dogged winemakers in Galicia, striving to not only save the region's local grape varieties from obscurity or extinction but also to showcase their immense potential.andnbsp; His home is located in the village of Arnoia within the Ribeiro appellation and since 1988 he has accumulated 6 hectares of vineyards planted to local grape varieties like Treixadura, Caiandntilde;o, and Ferrol in place of the more ubiquitous Palomino and Garnacha Tintorera.andnbsp; Through careful farming, native fermentations, and patient elevage Luis crafts some of the most captivating wines in all of Spain.andnbsp; While he is perhaps most known for his white wines based on the Treixadura grape, his reds deserve just as much attention and praise. A Torna Dos Pasas is a blend of Brancellao, Caino, and Ferrol drawn from 10andndash;20-year-old vines, fermented without stems in steel and aged in neutral French oak for 1 year. Juicy, spicy, and aromatic, this is a medium bodied wine with plenty of lift - classic Galician vinho tinto!
