Suckling über: Risco Merenzao

This is the new Risco, a blend sourced from various sites, including Carvallocoibo, Ladredo and Cortezada. It offers aromas of dried herbs, red fruit and a hint of dark tea. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with nervy acidity, poise and a transparent, expressive profile. Drink now.

Tim Atkin über: Risco Merenzao

Merenzao with a touch of Brancellao, and aged 18 months in French oak, this is a classic crianza style red wine. The Ribeira Sacra character is clear here with aromatic garrigue and forest floor aromas which sit alongside balsamic notes. The palate is balanced, perfectly combining a certain rustic charm with poise and harmony. Give it another year in bottle and it will shine.

Parker über: Risco Merenzao

The 2021 Risco is no longer a varietal Merenzao, as it also has some 15% Brancellao in the blend, a variety that is a little rustic and marks the blends. Both varieties come from the lieu-dit Cortezada (La Abeleda). It fermented with 25% full clusters, foot trodden and with indigenous yeasts, in open-top barrels and matured in used 225-liter French oak barrels for 23 months. It's a ripe and powerful red blend that reached 14% alcohol, with a pH of 3.5 and 5.5 grams of acidity. It feels more open than the new varietal Merenzao, more expressive and with good freshness and slightly grainier tannins. They produce some 3,300 bottles of this. It was bottled in August 2024.
