Unveil the Enchantment: A Deep Dive into Mar de Envero Tinto Barrica

The General Wine Company proudly presents a detailed exploration of the captivating Mar de Envero Tinto Barrica. This unique red wine, crafted in the heart of Galicia, Spain, promises an unforgettable taste adventure.

A Blend of Galician Character:

Mar de Envero Tinto Barrica is a captivating blend of three indigenous Galician grape varieties: Sousón, Mencía, and Pedral. Each grape contributes its distinct personality, resulting in a wine brimming with complexity. Sousón offers a backbone of crisp acidity and floral notes. Mencía brings vibrant red fruit character and a touch of spice. Pedral adds a touch of earthiness and minerality, completing the flavour profile.

Winemaking with Passion:

The grapes for Mar de Envero Tinto Barrica are meticulously hand-harvested to ensure optimum quality. The winemaking process is a testament to dedication, with techniques employed to preserve the grapes' natural character. After destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo a pre-fermentation maceration. This extended skin contact allows for the extraction of colour, flavour, and tannins. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place in concrete tanks, with daily punch-downs to further enhance the extraction process. Finally, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, where it matures and develops its complex structure.

A Sensory Journey Awaits:
