Red Wine Goliardo Espadeiro 2020
Availability: Out of stock
Coming from DO Rías Baixas, the wine Goliardo Espadeiro is one of the bottlings of the Tintos de Mar collection of Bodega Forjas del Salnés.
Made solely from Espadeiro, a scarce, high-quality variety indigenous to Galicia and Portugal, the grapes are sourced from a single 45-year-old vineyard with sandy and granite soils.
Hand-harvested and meticulously selected, the grapes were fully destemmed before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was carried out in 500-litre French oak barrels, where the wine Goliardo Espadeiro 2020 was then aged for 24 months.
Finally, this red wine from Rías Baixas was bottled in January 2023 and stored for 2 years minimum before hitting the market.
This is a hard-to-find, rather unique Crianza red wine. 600 bottles produced.
Extremely limited availability.
Aerate this Spanish red wine 1 hour before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine Goliardo Espadeiro is medium ruby with a purplish rim. | 
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Espadeiro is very original. Amarena cherries and redcurrants, with hints of sandalwood, withered flowers, chinese ink and smoke, and some mineral and forest floor remembrances. | 
| Palate | This wine from bodega Forjas del Salnés is linear, crisp and focused. It has an impressive acidity and a great freshness, all of which, together with a saline and mineral core, results in a markedly Atlantic character. Long finish, with vegetal remembrance and a smokey and balsamic aftertaste. | 
| Our personal opinion | Complex and highly characteristic, the wine Goliardo Espadeiro 2020 is simply one-of-a-kind. |
