Fazenda Agricola Augalevada Mercenario 2020 White Wine

Facenda Agrícola Mercenario Blanco 2020 is a blend of several native grape varieties (Treixadura, Albariño, Godello, and Palomino) sourced from historic vineyards along the banks of the Avia, Miño, and Arnoia rivers. It belongs to the D.O. Ribeiro. The vines grow in a parcel with soils composed of xabre (decomposed granite), red slate, and other types of clay.

The winemaking is natural, and the vineyards are farmed according to biodynamic principles. The wine undergoes a mixed aging process in 300L and 600L barrels, 500L casks, and 400L clay amphorae. This aging takes place from fermentation through to bottling in these same vessels. Total production is limited to 3600 bottles.

The wine is neither clarified nor filtered, and only minimal sulfur is used across all wines from Bodega Augalevada
