Viña Somoza Vía XVIII 2021 is an Atlantic red wine produced in the Galician region of Valdeorras, known for its uniqueness in the northwest of Spain. The wine's name honors the historic Roman Vía XVIII, symbolizing the connection between wine, landscape, and history of the region. Made from indigenous varieties such as Mencía, Garnacha Tintorera, and Mouratón, the wine benefits from granitic and slate soils, contributing freshness and notable minerality. The production is carried out with minimal intervention, using indigenous yeasts and some whole clusters, followed by aging for 10 to 11 months in used French oak barrels to highlight the purity of the fruit and distinguishing terroir. Aromas of fresh red fruits, violet flowers, and wild herbs blend with soft tannins, excellent acidity, and an elegant profile. Perfect for pairing with white meats, fatty fish, and Atlantic cuisine, this wine offers a modern interpretation of the reds from Valdeorras.
