The most approachable red from Coto de Gomariz: half Sousón, the rest Brancellao, Ferrol and Mencía, with only four months in barrique. 2022 was hot and dry, but deep water reserves kept the plots healthy. Dark berries, cassis, liquorice, a touch of tree bark and herbs; clearly built on the palate, with ripe tannins.
Serve at about 18 °C with pulpo a la gallega, lamb or veal, or with grilled vegetables. We would pick the octopus.

The estate traces its origins back to the 10th century, hence its motto «Dende o Século X», since the 10th century. The O Figueiral site has been documented since the 13th century and was replanted with native varieties in 1978. It gives the Colleita Seleccionada Finca o Figueiral, one of the white wines we stock.
