Description
Pedro Méndez does not map out established routes: he makes his own way. His winery, born in the Salnés Valley in 2015, was the result of an act of love for forgotten vines and lands that had not stopped beating in oblivion. When he picked the first grapes of Caiño Tinto -resilient survivors of the dominance of Albariño-, he knew he was giving birth to something that resonated with roots, with identity.
Pedro Méndez Aturuxo is a tribute to the ancestral cry, to the mineral whisper, to the Galician wine that is paid with Atlantic freshness and charged with emotion. A wine that is born of respectful practices with the environment and that seeks, above all, to be a faithful reflection of the place it comes from: the granitic slopes of the Salnés Valley, under the constant influence of the Atlantic.
Winemaking
The 100% Caiño Tinto grapes come from small plots cultivated under organic practices, without herbicides or systemic treatments, respecting the natural balance of the vineyard. The grapes are harvested by hand, selecting clusters at their optimum ripening point, which guarantees an integral and expressive raw material.
In the winery, Pedro Méndez applies an artisanal and precise approach. The grapes are gently destemmed and placed in small tanks. Fermentation is spontaneous, without the addition of yeast, allowing the wine to express itself with total authenticity. During this process, gentle punching down is carried out in order to favour the extraction of colour and structure without aggressiveness.
After alcoholic fermentation, Pedro Méndez Aturuxo is transferred to used French oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 10 months. This deliberate choice of neutral barrels provides volume and complexity without marking the wine with notes of new wood. The wine then rests for a few more months in stainless steel tanks, where it settles, gains definition and is prepared for bottling without fining or filtering, thus preserving all its purity and character.
Taste
Pedro Méndez Aturuxo stands out with a bright ruby luminosity, like a restrained promise from the first glance. On the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits -cherries and raspberries-unfold along with a delicate floral touch and herbal notes that add tension and complexity.
On the palate, Pedro Méndez Aturuxo reveals its fluidity and lightness immediately. The acidity is perfectly balanced, bordering on levity, while the velvety smooth tannins add structure without weight. The red fruits return, this time accompanied by a mineral hint suggesting granite soils, before giving way to a persistent, elegant finish.
This is a wine that combines bright freshness with a subtly spicy aromatic palette; a wine as vibrant as a shout, but also restrained, accessible and balanced.
