L'avis des experts
This has a fragrant and floral nose of dried rose petals and orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy, with a vivid, nervy fruit profile that persists. Long and ethereal with delicate tannins. This is really lovely.
Merenzao with a touch of Brancellao, and aged 18 months in French oak, this is a classic
crianza style red wine. The Ribeira Sacra character is clear here with aromatic garrigue
and forest floor aromas which sit alongside balsamic notes. The palate is balanced,
perfectly combining a certain rustic charm with poise and harmony. Give it another
year in bottle and it will shine. 2026-31
The varietal Merenzao (a.k.a. Trousseau) bottling, the 2020 Risco shows a pale and somewhat developed color with some orange tints and a delicate nose. It now has some Brancellao grapes in it. It has a characterful nose of decayed flowers, herbs and wild berries. It's medium-bodied and delicate, with almost imperceptible tannins, silky, with good ripeness and balance, 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.5 and 5.95 grams of acidity. It fermented with 25% full clusters that were foot trodden in open-top barrels and the rest destemmed in stainless steel, always with indigenous yeasts. It matured in a 2,000-liter oak foudre and some used 225-liter barrels. 2,400 bottles were filled in August 2023.

Extremadamente elegante. Nariz de frutos rojos con notas florales. Sedoso en boca. Gran vino para disfrutar.
Excesivamente sutil,casi parece un vino con más edad.Desconozco si más tiempo en botella le dará más personalidad.Fácil de beber
Color rubí poco profundo y aroma a frutos rojos. En boca es suave con un despliegue frutal intenso. Tiene personalidad pero no es mi estilo.
