Viños de Encostas Wish 2017 (750 ml)

Wish is a blend of many indigenous varietals of the Ribeiro D.O., coming together from an old sloped vineyard to make a deep and complex red wine. When the grapes come into the cellar, they are naturally fermented in 2000L open stainless steel vats after a cold (pre-fermentation) maceration for one week. Manual punch downs and a mild pressing through an old screw press are two methods used to keep the sweetest and ripest tannins available in the fruit. Before malolactic fermentation can finish, the wine is moved into 300L, used French oak barrels where it then rests for 18 months. The resulting wine is violet in color, and shows gorgeous aromatics of lilac, red and blue fruits, and distinct minerality. On the palate, the Wish is fresh and fruity, with soft tannins and lovely acidity, a clean mineral driven tone, and a long intense finish.
