Product Description
Details

Produced by the Casal de Armán winery, Casal de Armán Tinto is an uncommon Spanish red wine from DO Ribeiro, an area typically known for its white wines.

This blended red wine from Ribeiro is made from the native Galician varieties Sousón, Caiño Longo and Brancellao. The vineyards are planted on mild slopes with granitic sand and slate soils located near the Galician coast, in an area sometimes referred to as "Green Spain".

Harvested by hand at their optimal ripening state, once in the cellar, the grapes were macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature. Then this Crianza red wine was drawn off prior to malolactic fermentation.

Finally, Casal de Armán Tinto 2021 was aged for 11 months in the steel tanks and for a further 3-4 months in the cellar of the  winery prior to its release.

Production around 4,000 bottles per year.

This Atlantic red wine from Galicia will pair excellently with red meat recipes, rice dishes and roast dishes.

Appearance

The red wine Casal de Armán is medium ruby with a violet rim.

Nose

This unoaked blend of Sousón, Caiño Longo and Brancellao is crisp and tangy. Aromas of red berries over a mineral background reminiscent of dry stone, some herbal notes and watery hints, and a dash of smoke and herbs.

Palate

Linear, salty and energetic, this red wine of the Casal de Armán winery has a superb acidity, smooth tannins and a medium body. Some smokey and balsamic remembrances, hand in hand with wild berries. Medium-long, fresh finish.

Our personal opinion

The Ribeiro red wine Casal de Armán Tinto 2021 showcases the amazing diversity of the Spanish wine landscape.

Value
If you're looking for a TRULY different kind of red wine, look no further: this is it. The fruit is juicy and ripe, but you do not feel the sun. Insted of that, the wine leaves an intensely salty and citrus sensation, a feature that sets it apart from almost any other red wine. VERY interesting!!
