It is always the more forward of the two Mencia-based cuvees from Fedellos, marked by soft cherry fruit and bright, lifted acidity, with the lithe texture and long acid structure that defines everything the project makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFedellos is the work of Curro Barreno and Jesus Olivares, two Sierra de Gredos natives whose wandering careers in wine led them to one of the wildest and most remote corners of Galicia. Based in Manzaneda at the head of the Bibei River, their vineyards sit across the edges of Valdeorras, Ribeira Sacra and a third zone beyond either appellation boundary. The winery now operates entirely without a D.O., bound instead by their own rigorous approach to terroir expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking organically and biodynamically, Curro and Jesus seek out colder, north-facing sites on granitic and gneiss soils, deliberately avoiding the more celebrated Lousas slates of the region. The result is some of the most elegant, perfumed and profound Mencia in Spain, wines where minimal intervention leads to an unusually clear sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50370064023745,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Fedellos_As_Xaras_Mencia_Ribeira_Sacra_2022.png?v=1782818319","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/fedellos-as-xaras-mencia-ribeira-sacra-2022","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
