Poula Vino de Pueblo Red Blend

Mencia, palomino, Alicante all cofermented. Dusty, primary and a bit bretty in the nose, but juicy and full bodied in mouth. Unique and balanced overall. A treat! Stylistically between Côte Rotie and St Emilion

Aug 27th, 20182015. Wow! What a great, classic and rustic wine. This is made with a blend of 60% red grapes including some of my favorites from Galicia - Granacha Tintorera (aka Alicante Bouchet), Mencia and Trousseau (they call it Portuguesa, but also known as Merenzao and Bastardo) - plus 40% white grapes including Palomino, Godello, and others. Made in stone lagares and amphora (Roman empire style clay pots). No note of wood, although some of their wines are later aged in large old oak bote. Great minerality, freshness of fruit, and both floral notes on the nose from the white varietals and tannins on the palate from the red varietals. Served lightly chilled but could benefit from a little more.
