Coto de Gomariz, The Flower and the Bee, Treixadura, Ribeiro, Spain
Sourced from 27 hectares of vines planted on terraces and smooth slopes near the village of Gomariz. Soils are mostly sandy and granitic and vineyard altitude is 150 to 300 metres above sea level. A unique microclimate created by the Avia river causes summers to be hotter than usual in Galicia, and winters to be mild and humid.
The grapes are hand harvested into 18 kg plastic-crates and transferred to a sorting table. They are de-stemmed, crushed and lightly pressed. Free-run juice is cold settled and fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel vats. Spends at least one month in bottle before release.
