Attis Bodegas y Vinedos

Cuvée Tinto Xión Rías Baixas Red Blend 2015

Mix of ripe and tart red fruits. Lots of red candy things going on-- slightly anisey licorice, with a Spree/Sweet Tart tangy finish to it (dang I love that candy). Also brings in a bit of red pepper and almost a eucalyptus or sprucy element. A touch of sweet paprika

Tannins are soft and silky, acid is medium/medium plus. Alcohol medium. Magenta starting to take on just a but of Ruby hues. Finish is long and tangy.


This would be my dream wine if it had just a bit more rustic, underbrushy, stemminess and minerality. Really tasty.

Wine has Pedral, Sousón, and Espadeiro and has spent 6mo crianza-- really curious about the oak aging. I'm assuming old neutral barrels bcz there's no oaky spice or vanilla there.

Fento Wines

Fento Tinto Rias Baixas Souson Espadeiro 2017

Nattyish. Straightforward, raw aromas of cassis, ripe plum. Lifted and high-toned from VA. Rather short finish, but the freshness and pop compensates. Needs a roasted haunch of beast to show at its best. — 5 years ago

Forja del Salnes

Goliardo Tintos de Mar Caiño 2010

This is a Galician (Rias Baixas) grape sometimes referred to as "Caíño Redondo", but not the same as the Espadeiro of Portugal that is made into a red Vinho Verde. Anyway it is damn good, kind of like Mencía, but also like a cross between a Bourgogne and a Tannat minus the big tannins. Really interesting. — 8 years ago
