Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The nose of the 2023 Maceración con Pieles combines the exuberance of the Albariño grape with the aromas obtained with the fermentation in contact with the skins. The result is intoxicating, a mixture of peach and apricot with wildflowers. It is perhaps a little overwhelming for food, getting close to the aromas of a Moscatel, with notes of orange blossom and mint. The palate is of course pure granite, extracting even more from the skins, when the fine tannins get together with the granularity from the soil. It's quite unique, not very Albariño or Rías Baixas in the traditional way. It was in contact with the skins for two weeks and then pressed and matured in Austrian acacia foudre for nine months without being racked or going through malolactic. 1,370 bottles produced.

Description

Eulogio Pomares Maceración Con Pieles was born in the vineyards of Sisán, in the heart of Meaño (Pontevedra), where the Atlantic soul of Galicia intertwines with granitic soils and a changing climate. This wine does not seek to please everyone, but to show a wild and radical side of Albariño. Eulogio, with an unorthodox vision, decided to go for skin maceration in a region where few dare to do so.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested by hand, with rigorous selection in the field. The grapes were destemmed and fermented spontaneously in contact with their skins for two weeks, extracting the maximum of their varietal and mineral character. After that period, Eulogio Pomares Maceración Con Pieles was gently pressed and aged for nine months in an Austrian acacia foudre, without racking or malolactic fermentation. This type of ageing gives it a unique texture and unique aromatic nuances.

The result is a natural maceration wine, bottled without filtering or fining, where the fine tannins of the skin combine with the granitic imprint of the soil, generating an intense, aromatic expression radically different from traditional Albariño.

Taste

In the glass, Eulogio Pomares Maceración Con Pieles shows intense golden tones and natural cloudiness. On the nose, an initial reduction appears which dissipates to give way to aromas of orange peel , almond, pine resin and a background of herbal infusion. There are no tropical or floral notes, but a dry and sober expression, deeply mineral.

The palate is dry, medium-bodied and slightly tannic in texture, similar to the feel of a cold oolong tea. The palate is firm, with sensations of dried apricot, mild spices and a long finish dominated by Atlantic salinity and restrained acidity. A gastronomic wine, ideal for Mediterranean dishes, cured cheeses or Asian cuisine.

Eulogio Pomares Maceración Con Pieles is much more than a different Albariño: it is a wine manifesto. A courageous commitment to craftsmanship, to wildness and to the truth of a variety that, far from stereotypes, can speak with its own voice. A wine for restless palates, where the skin is not a technical detail, but the heart of the story.
