‘Gaba do Xil’ Mencia 2017

Gaba is a wine of soft red fruit alive with granite and herbs, arranged around gentle fruit tannin and a herb-acid tang. The nose is roasted meat, rhurbarb, fennel, hite strawberry, thyme; shining red fruit in a pastoral setting, aromatic bitters, a touch of brush. Sweet and sour agrodulce bifolds off a fleshily vegetal palate, nicely rounded in the middle, gently radiating down and out to all parts of the mouth.
