About

Common project of wine enthusiasts Óscar Cidanes and Marcial Dorado. The destinies of Marcial and Oscar intersect in 2003 creating Destinos Cruzados Winery.

Oscar served as restaurateur-sommelier and Marcial as a winemaker for his golden whites. The project is consolidated when the possibility of working a beautiful farm with strains between 30 and 50 years near the Miño arises in a town of tradition as wine-producing as Arbo, within the sub-area of Tea County in Rías Baixas.

Description

A most unusual red, coming from Albariño country, this is a blend of Mencia, Brancellao and Espadeiro, giving a dry, almost savoury red – a little lighter than a Californian Cabernet but richer and fuller than a Pinot Noir.

Made in concrete winery, traditionally stepped on (with the feet), part of 60% of the whole grape with scrape and 40% destemmed, a short maceration of 7 days in winery and later pressed to finalize fermentation in tank of stainless. Aged for 12 months in used French Oak barrels, with light red fruits, a hint of chocolate and a lovely mineral finish. Perfect with both seafood and grilled meats.
