ALBERTO ORTE Escalada Do Sil 2017 DO Valdeorras Spain 75cl Red

Escalada do Sil, literally the stairway to the Sil, the river at the foot of the vineyards. The name of this cuvée perfectly reflects the unique character of this plot, discovered by Alberto Orte, distinguished by its old vines planted on terraces on a steep slope, at the western end of the Ribera Sacra appellation. On this plot, he cultivates Mencia, Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet), and Merenzao (Jura Trousseau), which is predominant in the blend. Magnificent in its purity, elegance, and refinement, this cuvée is a marvel.
