Nacho Gonzalez "La Perdida" O Poulo Tinto 2017

La Perdida “The Lost Wines” is the name given by winemaker Nacho Gonzalez referring to his very natural approach in the vineyards he farms in Valdeorras/Galicia. A biologist by training, he turned to winemaking when his grandmother bestowed upon him a vineyard site named “O Trancado.” Nacho brought it back to life from total neglect, through good farming practices and a desire to save the old vines. Nacho works out of a tiny cellar in the town of Larouco that he rents from friends. He produces only about 300 cases. The “O Poulo” is a blend of Garnacha Tintorera and Palomino from the Alto a Ermida vineyard, which straddles the Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras DOs.
