2019 Laura Lorenzo / DaTerra Ribeira Sacra - Azos do Pobo Tinto

Azos de Pobo comes from the parish or pueblo of Soutipedre within the village of Manzaneda, where there are very old mixed plantings of 80-120 years, with the oldest vines planted on their own rootstock. This cuvée is comprised of 50% Gran Negro and Garnacha Tintorera, with the balance being Mouraton, Mencía, Merenzao, etc. The grapes were destemmed and foot-trodden, fermented in open-top used 500 and 225 liter barrels, and then raised for 11 months in used 225 liter barrels.
