This Italian Grape Ale is a sophisticated collaboration showcasing the terroir of Ribeira Sacra through twelve grape varieties. The inclusion of Mencía, Merenzao, Brancellao, Sousón, Caiño, and Espadeiro red grapes, alongside Godello, Albariño, Loureira, Treixadura, Torrontés, and Blanco Lexítimo white grapes, creates a complex sensory profile. It opens with an aroma of grape candy and vinous nuances, supported by a clean gold appearance. The palate features a delicate balance between fruit-forward acidity and a dry, lingering bitterness. Despite its potent strength, the alcohol is elegantly integrated into a long, refreshing finish, reflecting a masterful blend of brewing and winemaking traditions.

Appearance. Vivid gold and clean with brilliant clarity. Features a generous, creamy white head with good retention and fine, well-integrated bubbles.

Aroma. High intensity fruity aroma reminiscent of grape candy. Complex vinous notes derived from the grape varieties, particularly the floral and stone fruit characters of Godello and Albariño. Subtle, friendly alcoholic notes are present, with very low earthy hop character and no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression is fruit-forward with flavors of peach and apricot from white grapes and subtle red berry hints from Mencía. A distinct acid-bitter balance provides structure. Malt is supportive and neutral. Finish is long, dry, and refreshing, with low hop bitterness and well-integrated alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a high, elegant carbonation that enhances the vinous character. Noticeable alcohol warmth is smooth rather than hot. Very low astringency from grape skins.
