As Covas Pinot Noir 2016 Rodrigo Mendez
As Covas is a Spanish red wine produced by Rodrigo Mendez. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from young Pinot Noir vines from 2 estates, one originating in Rivadumia with 15 year old vines and granite soils and the other in Sanxenxo with 5 year old vines and sandy soils. It is a bottle that reflects the producer's style, the result of an intimate and personal project set up by Rodrigo Mendez.
The must ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in a 500-litre wooden vat and is then aged for 12 months in old 225 and 500-litre barrels. As Covas 2016 has a not very intense ruby red colour.
The nose releases refined bouquet typical of this variety with aromas of red fruits, rose petals, spices, orange peel with a fresh and balsamic sip ending with a note of eucalyptus. An Atlantic expression of Pinot Noir that can be compared to a Burgundy Pinot Noir for its elegance and minerality.
