Galena en Caja de Madera
Purple-hued GALENA offers an exciting bouquet of cedar, spice box, mineral earth and cherries and blackcurrants. Smooth in texture, ripe and complex. This easy-going effort is already delivering plenty of pleasure, even if it will continue to evolve for 2-3 years. Robert Parker
Production: Rigorous manual selection of grapes from five of our fourteen plots of organic vineyards, based on the type of soil and the adaptation of the strain to it. The fermentation and maceration of each variety take place separately, in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, a gentle pressing of the skins is carried out, to continue with the malolactic fermentation. Finally, the different varieties are blended before entering barrels.
Aging: 12 months in French (90%) and American (10%) oak barrels, and 24 months of rest in the bottle.
Tasting Note: Galena is a wine with an intense cherry red colour, where we want to express what our territory is. It has an important and ever-present mineral component, which provides freshness. It has a notable aromatic complexity and a great richness of nuances, where balsamic aromas and dried black fruits predominate, as well as jams, with light touches of black spices. On the palate it is very oily and fresh, with a powerful but smooth first attack, highlighting the aromas of black spices and minerality.
Pairing: Rice and pasta, poultry, white meat, red meat, game, sausages, cold cuts, meat stews, eggs, pâtés, foie, blue fish, aged cheeses, vegetables.
