{"product_id":"ribeiro-ollos-de-roque-augalevada-2022","title":"Ribeiro Ollos de Roque, Augalevada 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdega Augalevada was founded in 1998 by Fernando González Arias in the Ribeiro zone of Galicia, with a clear aim to revive traditional varieties and site driven expressions that had largely been overlooked during the region’s commercial expansion. The estate is based around Arnoia and the Avia valley, where granitic soils, Atlantic influence and varied exposures shape wines of freshness and quiet complexity. Farming is carried out organically with a strong emphasis on old vines, massal selections and low yields, while all vineyard work is done by hand. In the cellar González Arias works with indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction and neutral vessels, favouring clarity and balance over weight, and allowing Ribeiro’s distinctive mix of varieties and soils to speak with precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOllos de Roque translates as Roque's eyes in Gallego – Roque being Iago's son. This is the jewel in the crown made from Augalevada's own grapes as opposed to the Mercenario wines. Iago planted the vines in 2009 and decided to re-graft some of them (see profile) with lado as well as the promising agudelo – a chenin cultivar brought by the monks via the Camino de Santiago centuries ago. The wines were aged under a thin layer of flor in a mix of 500ltr, 600ltr barrels and buried tinajas. Blended in June and bottled in August the following year, the finished wine was then bottle-aged for another year before release. SO2 was only added at bottling to reach a low 25mg\/l total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystalline and lifted, with flavours of pink grapefruit, tarragon and roses, this is lush and round while packed with salivating razor-like acids. Saltiness and fine bitters extend a lengthy and energetic finish – a stunning wine that showcases all of Iago's talent!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eRibeiro, Galicia, Spain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003e60% Treixadura, 20% Lado, 20% Agudelo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2022\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol\u003cstrong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eFresh, mineral, aromatic, balanced, aged under flor.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic farming, hand harvested, gentle pressing, native yeast fermentation, aged on fine lees in barrels without top-up, lightly aged under flor, minimal sulphur at bottling.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003enatural, low intervention, atlantic influence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augalevada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55580489646456,"sku":"OLLOSRIRO-22-AGL-WHI","price":38.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Ollos_Branco_Augalevada.png?v=1760976722","url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/products\/ribeiro-ollos-de-roque-augalevada-2022","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
