Descrizione

Prodotto dal duo composto da Telmo Rodríguez e Pablo Eguzkiza, questo rosso è il frutto di un mitico appezzamento di appena 2,5 ettari, dove viti di oltre 80 anni sfidano il tempo sui pendii granitici che si affacciano sul fiume Bibei. Fedele alla loro filosofia di minimo intervento, il vino nasce da un assemblaggio tradizionale dominato dal Mencía, ma arricchito da varietà che conferiscono eleganza e consistenza.

Recensioni degli esperti

The Wine Advocate:

The expressive, floral and aromatic 2020 As Caborcas was cropped from a warmer year but without the frost or mildew of past years like 2017 and 2018. 2020 was a year when they achieved a wine with good structure and a little more alcohol (14%), which was not really noticeable, as the wine comes through as balanced and elegant, textured and juicy, with fine tannins but not lacking clout. 2,664 bottles were produced. It was bottled in July 2022 after 15 months in 1,500- and 2,000-liter oak foudres.

James Suckling:

This is so classy with fresh forest fruits, subtle white pepper and violets. Extremely aromatic. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that give finesse and length. Crispness adds to the presence of this wine. A light austerity gives tension at the end. Drinkable but even better in two or three years.
