Our Take: Bright and energetic, with notes of wild raspberry, red plum, violets, and crushed herbs. Fresh acidity and fine tannins frame a vibrant palate, while the granitic soils lend a distinctive mineral lift and savory finish.

This cuvée is sourced from young-vine Caiño, Brancellao, Sousón, and Ferrol, planted by Luis using massal selections in the steep, south-facing granitic vineyards surrounding his hometown of Arnoia in Ribeiro. The grapes are fully destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel before aging for 12 months in a combination of French oak barrels and steel tanks. Released earlier than Luis’s more structured reds, it offers an immediate expression of the region’s native varieties.
