Cume do Avia No 10 Colleita 2022
Cume do Avia is a project that was started to investigate the history of the Ribeiro region. A region with a deep history for both red and white wines that has all but disappeared since the Spanish Civil War. Planted on terraced stony slopes with 13 indigenous varietals all farmed organically This is a blend of Caino Longo, Souson, and Brancellao. The grapes are co-fermented (40% whole cluster) for 3 weeks and then it is aged in an ancient chestnut barrel for 5 months prior to bottling. This is a lightly colored wine that speaks to the stony hillsides of Ribeiro. Aromatic with a mixture of red fruits, over stony mineral driven earth. The core of the wine is darker fruits with an herbal tinge and light bodied with fine but textured tannins. This is a lighter expression of the red wines that this corner of Iberia is famous for.
Critical Acclaim
94 Wine Advocate
The pale and bright ruby-colored 2022 Colleita nº10 Tinto is more ethereal and elegant, with a more perfumed nose than the 2021 vintage, despite being a warmer and riper year. It's more reductive, quite complete and elegant, lighter, with a touch of volatility that lifts it up. This feels very young, and it's sharp and balanced. It's tasty, almost salty, a red for food. They produced some 8,000 bottles this year.
