Ronsel do Sil Alpendre Merenzao 750ml
WINE EXPERT’S TASTING NOTES
Mineral and spice accent red and blue fruits and candied flowers overtake the aromas. Vibrant raspberry, blueberry and bitter cherry flavors turn sweeter and spicier as the wine opens up. This wine displays a compelling blend of power and finesse with an impressively long and gently chewy finish, with resonating florality and polished tannins adding gentle grip.
WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTE
The aromas show hints of spicy red berries, tart plums, roses, and minerals, with a fresh and light feel. This wine has concentrated flavor notes of violets and pink peppercorn that are smooth and pleasant.
Alpendre, which means "porch" or "shed" in the local language, referencing the simple farm buildings in Galicia, Spain.
