Risco Merenzao
The varietal Merenzao (a.k.a. Trousseau) bottling, the 2020 Risco shows a pale and somewhat developed color with some orange tints and a delicate nose. It now has some Brancellao grapes in it. It has a characterful nose of decayed flowers, herbs and wild berries. It's medium-bodied and delicate, with almost imperceptible tannins, silky, with good ripeness and balance, 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.5 and 5.95 grams of acidity. It fermented with 25% full clusters that were foot trodden in open-top barrels and the rest destemmed in stainless steel, always with indigenous yeasts. It matured in a 2,000-liter oak foudre and some used 225-liter barrels. 2,400 bottles were filled in August 2023.
