Goliardo Tinto 2022

2022 / 93 puntos

The 2022 Goliardo Tinto, a blend of Caíño, Loureiro, Espadeiro and Sousón, was the darkest of the reds in this very good year for red wines in Rías Baixas. This blend achieved 12.8% alcohol, which is high and unusual for the zone, and very good acidity, 7.3 grams. It fermented in stainless steel and open-top barrels and matured in 225- and 500-liter barrels and a 1,500-liter foudre for 12 months. It's clean and a little austere, balanced, precise and with good freshness, integrated acidity and very fine tannins. 4,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2024.
