Abadia da Cova Tradición Tinto 2017

Abadia da Cova Tradición Tinto earns praise for its supple texture and fruity profile featuring cherry, plum, and red fruits. While most appreciate its well-balanced structure and full-bodied character, some note bold aromatic intensity with spicy-bitter undertones. The wine shows versatility in food pairings, particularly with meats, though opinions vary on its tannic structure.

This Galician red unfurls with a deep garnet hue, offering a bouquet of ripe black cherry and plum, underscored by subtle notes of wild herbs and a whisper of graphite. On the palate, the wine reveals a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and finely-grained tannins, creating a medium-bodied structure that is both elegant and persistent. The mineral-driven finish, accented by hints of dark chocolate and a touch of anise, speaks to the wine's terroir-driven complexity. This is a quintessential expression of Ribeira Sacra, showcasing the region's potential for producing refined and characterful reds.
