There are a couple of rare red wines under the "O Esteiro" label and this one is the single varietal Espadeiro -
organically grown on granite soils with an average age of 10-200 year old vines. Almost no one has this grape planted
here in the region anymore and when you find someone who does these vines are likely older than any great.grandparents sill alive!
Harvest is done by hand, grapes are spontaneously fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged for
an additional 12 months in used neutral French oak barriques. The wines are not fined or filtered, with minimal to no
S02 at bottling. A very fresh, bright, low ABV, crunchy and chillable red, rare from Rías Baixas as only around 1% of
the production here is red to begin with!
