Nanclares y Prieto - O Bocoi Vello de Silvia - Albarino 2019
Bodega Nanclares y Prieto Viticultores is located in Pontevedra province in Spain. It belongs to Alberto Nanclares and Silvia Prieto who met in November 2009 during a wine tasting with Raul Pérez. They grow the Albariño variety in 14 vineyards in Rias Baixas, spread over 5 hectares. The 30-to-100-year-old vines are grown accordingly to the principles of minimum intervention, seeking biological balance in the plant, which enables the terroir to express itself. The vineyards are fertilised with compost made from grape pomace and algae. They also have vineyards Laderas del Miño and Ribeiro. In the winery, their approach is to respect the grapes as much as possible, intervening as little as possible in the winemaking process, using no additives, apart from moderate doses of sulphur.
O Bocoi Vello is made from Albariño. The grapes from each vineyard are fermented separately in order to preserve their individual identity. The grapes are pressed whole and only the must which will ferment in stainless steel is settled, but not the must which will ferment in wood. The wood used to ferment the single parcel wines is French oak previously used at least five times and with a capacity between 400 and 2,200 litres. The wines ferment in the barrels where they then remain on their lees until the following harvest.
Grape variety: 100% Albariño
