Escalada do Sil Tinto Alberto Orte 2022 is an aromatic red from the Valdeorras region, crafted from a blend of 60% Merenzao, 30% Mencia and 10% Garnacha Tintorera. Sourced from steeply terraced mountain sites with slate and granite sandy soils, this 2022 bottling reflects a dedicated project to revive ancient red wine traditions in a white-dominant area. The fruit is fermented with 100% whole clusters for 28 days before undergoing 15 months of maturation in 500-litre French oak barrels. It delivers a refined profile of bright red berries and earthy minerals, balanced by a structural lift and savoury depth.
