About the Wine
Attis Xión Cuvée Tinto 2022 is a red wine from the Val do Salnés subzone of D.O. Rías Baixas, made from a blend of Pedral, Sousón, and Espadeiro grape varieties. The vines are grown at 100 meters elevation in granitic Entisole soils with a sandy-clay profile, using traditional vine arbour systems (800 vines/ha) and southwest-facing orientation. Yields are kept low at 4,000 kg/ha. Grapes are hand-harvested in perforated crates, sorted, fully destemmed, and fermented spontaneously in 500 L open barrels. Maceration lasts 15 days with two daily punch-downs. Malolactic fermentation is spontaneous. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak vats. It is fined with egg whites and sea water and lightly filtered. Importer (Steep Hill).
