‘A Mallada’
Garnacha Tintorera, Sumoll, Galicia, Spain
A complex red that exudes a deeply historic, roman empire kinda air. The wines of La Perdida are the epitome of tErrOIr; singular, accumulated expressions of location, grape, time & winemaker Nacho Gonzales, all come together so honestly, they irrevocably lodge themselves into your brain. ‘A Mallada’ is made from three parcels of ancient, low-yielding vines on granitic soils near Seadur, in Spain’s north-west region of Valdeorras. The garnacha tintorera and rustic sumoll are hand-harvested, destemmed, and fermented with their skins for 20 days. As fermentation carries on, Nacho begins to remove the skins bit by bit to keep from over-extraction, then the wine is pressed to old chestnut and French oak barrels to recoup. Dusty pomegranate rolling on the ground, borage, liquorice flower, black walnut, freeze dried strawberry, resinous tannins, drooping pine fronds, mossy & brooding. Enjoy while laying on your back, placidly waiting for the gift of a shooting star.
