The 2005 Gorvia Red, sourced from the same vineyard, is composed of 90% Mencia, 5% Bastardo, and 5% Caino Redondo aged for 14 months in French oak. This unique offering is exceptionally perfumed with aromas of rose petals, cherry blossom, raspberry, and spice box. Elegant and silky on the palate, it has a Pinot Noir-like texture, layers of sweet fruit, and vibrant acidity. This lengthy wine is likely to drink well for 8-10 years. Quinta da Muradella is where star vigneron Raul Perez makes his A Trabe wines. Grapes from this vineyard were once used to make Grappa but now serve a more noble purpose. A mere 1.2 hectares in size, the vineyard is now biodynamically farmed. Importer: Patrick Mata and Alberto Orte, Ole Imports, New Rochelle, NY; tel. (914) 740-4724
