Gorvia Tinto 2019
HK$ 553.16
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The single-vineyard red 2019 Gorvia comes from the same vineyard as the white of the same name, a south-facing slate slope in the surroundings of the Monterrei Castle, mostly Mencía with some 5% Bastardo and Caíño Redondo. It fermented in an open stainless steel vat with destemmed grapes, was kept there for nine months, then put in used 500- and 700-liter casks and assembled in stainless steel until bottling. It has a transparent color and also an ethereal nose and palate, with only 12.5% alcohol, purity of flavors and strong personality. 2,505 numbered bottles.

Description
In the south of Galicia, where the Atlantic winds intertwine with history, Gorvia Tinto is born, a bottled jewel that carries the soul of Monterrei in every drop.
The magic begins at Quinta da Muradella, a small artisanal winery where José Luis Mateo makes wines with the patience and intuition of someone who understands the land. This is not an industrial wine nor one that seeks to impress with artifice. It is pure, genuine, a mirror of the vineyard it comes from.
Gorvia Tinto is composed mostly of Mencía ( around 90%), with small contributions of Bastardo and Caíño Redondo, varieties that add layers of complexity. The grapes come from a singular plot, planted almost 40 years ago, where the decomposed slate and iron in the soil provide that characteristic mineral touch.
Winemaking
The vinification of Gorvia Tinto is almost a dance: fermentation with whole bunches in a wooden vat, prolonged maceration and ageing in used French oak barrels. Nothing is rushed. Everything takes its time, as if the wine breathes at its own pace.
Taste
If I had to describe Gorvia Tinto in one word, it would be balance. It does not seek to make an overpowering impact or to glide along without leaving its mark. It is elegant, with a vibrant acidity that gives it life and a palate that plays between fresh red fruit, violet blossom and a subtle background of spices.
Each sip leaves a long, lingering echo, with a mineral wink that makes you return to the glass almost without realising it. It's the kind of wine that doesn't need a special occasion to open up, but when you try it, it turns any moment into something special.
