Vinedos de Gabian 2020 Red Blend: A Taste of Galicia’s Artisanal Excellence

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the lush, coastal vineyards of Galicia, Spain, this 2020 Red Blend from Vinedos de Gabian is a testament to minimalist winemaking and terroir-driven expression. Producer Pepiño, once bound by appellation rules, now lets the wine’s intrinsic quality shine—crafted entirely by hand in a one-man operation. This limited-production gem showcases a harmonious blend of Brancellao (the backbone), Caíño (a coastal red grape known for its vibrant acidity), and Espadeiro, resulting in a wine that’s both complex and approachable.

Winemaking Philosophy:
Inspired by mentor Raúl Pérez, Pepiño embraces natural fermentation and whole-bunch maceration, allowing the grapes to speak for themselves. The Brancellao ages in open-top 500L barrels, while the Caíño and Espadeiro mature in a single large foudre, preserving freshness and texture. With a 30-day maceration period, this wine achieves a perfectly balanced structure—supporting layers of ripe red fruit, subtle spice, and a mineral-driven finish. At 12.5% ABV, it’s elegantly poised for food pairing or casual sipping.

Why You’ll Love It:
