The red 2013 Gorvia, from the same vineyard as the white of the same name on a south-facing slate slope in the surroundings of the Monterrei Castle, is mostly Mencía with some 5% Bastardo and Caí?o Redondo. Fermentation was carried out in an oak vat with some 20% full clusters and around 10% uncrushed grapes; the élevage was a bit convoluted, seven months in stainless steel, then transferred to a second-use 2,500-liter oak foudre and some 500-liter barrels, followed by another period in stainless steel before being bottled unfiltered. It has a superb, balanced, complex and elegant nose redolent of violets, sour cherries and stones. The palate is also terribly balanced, the tannins are fine, there is great tension and detail, filigree, pure and focused flavors and great length. This should age magnificently in bottle. 4,000 bottles.
