Teimosia A Espina
Caiño Tinto, Castañal, and Sousón planted in 2008 from 4 plots totaling less than 1 hectare and located 900 meters from the Miño river and 5 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean in southwest Galicia, just above Portugal. South facing with poor sandy-clay soils on decomposed schist and small gravel in ideal plots for the maturation of reds.
Although not pitch black, it's still quite dark and opaque. It has a very intense nose like concentrated violets with an earthy, oaky touch. Stewed plum and raisin notes with spicy, herbaceous fruit tones are pronounced on the palate, with bold tannin structure and moderate acidity. Very complex with an extremely long finish.
Winemaking: Spontaneous fermentation, 10 months in new French oak barrels of 228L (31%) and stainless steel tank (69%). A blend of Caíño Tinto, Castañal and Sousón
Production: Only 973 bottles!
