1694 2020
/// 1694 is the date that appears on one of the stones on the facade of the Rectoral House where our winery is located, Adega Ferreiros. Under the house there is still the old winery so this date indicates that for more than 300 years wine has been made in this place
- Location of the vineyards: The “La Diestral” vineyard is located in the Consello de Coles, town of Ferreiros, in the province of Ourense in Galicia, Spain. It is located on a hillside at 250 meters. Sunny and 1.8 hectares of which 0.8 are from Albariño. The river Miño is about 2 kilometers away.
- Viticulture: Trellised vineyard, with 13 year old vines. Organic soil. Use of natural compost. Worked on biodynamics
- Elaboration: 2020 is the first vintage. The characteristics of the soil (granite) and the climatological ones (rainy spring, as well as the beginning of summer) have resulted in a very low yield. 1,400 kg were collected. Manual harvest. Selection of grapes in the vineyard and in the winery. Destemmed grape. Maceration of skins, 3 days in stainless tanks with cold temperature control. Low extractive pressing, slow fermentation under controlled temperature. Aged in 500 L barrels, American and French, of 2-3 wines, for 6 months, with their own fine lees. Not subjected to filtering or clarification, so we have a totally natural wine.
- Grades: 13
- Variety: Albariño 100%. Mineral and complex. We seek an expression of the vineyard through our 1694 wines.
- Harvest date: September 1, 2020
amarok 2020
/// Amarok. It is the name of our Mencía grape variety, and we have been inspired by one of the sculptures that preside over the roof of the Church of Santo Eustebio de Peroxa, in Ferreiros. In Inuit mythology (Canada, Alaska) the Amarok represents the spirit of a gigantic wolf. In our church it represents evil and is located under another sculpture that represents a lamb, as a symbol of good
