Valdeorras, Galicia

La Perdida is the story, and the rediscovery, of a territory of great tradition but almost lost, forgotten. Difficult to work with but also of great potential.

We are in Valdeorras, in Galicia, where Nacho Gonzales, a biologist, inherits his first vineyard from his grandmother O Troncado. Others will follow for a total of 4 hectares.

On the one hand, Nacho’s wines are experimental, on the other tremendously fascinating and products of local tradition.

No chemistry in any of the production phases, it is vinified in Tinaja, traditional terracotta amphora, or in large and clearly used barrels. The yields are minimal and the wines have great personality.

The most curious thing is that the rows are mixed, in the sense that the vineyards are not varietal and therefore at a distance of a few tens of meters you can come across different grapes, those that are part of local history, Palomino, Godello, Garnache Tintonera , Mencia and Sumoll. As it was once done, in fact the vineyards are more than 80 years old.
