Tasting Notes

WA93

The red 2010 Gorvia is 95% Mencia with the balance being Bastardo and Caino from a single-vineyard that names the wine (slope of the castle), planted 24 years ago. The whole clusters are fermented in an open wood vat with natural yeast where malolactic fermentation is slowly carried out (it took three months). It’s then transferred to stainless steel tanks for nine months and then aged for 14 months in barrique which are then blended together and stay for a further five months in inox. Deep cherry-colored, with a very floral, elegant and attractive nose, with violets and dry roses, a spicy touch, in a nice combination of dried fruit and black spices. The palate is earthy in a Gevrey-style, with flavors of sour cherries, ending spicy and long. A superb Atlantic red. Drink 2013-2019.
