The Flower and the Bee wines aims to introduce native Galician grapes to a wider audience. This is made from young Sousón vines (also known as Sousão/Vinhão in Portugal) and displays a lot of vibrant varietal character. A beautiful, utterly drinkable wine full of crunchy red fruit and spice.
100% Sousón (indigenous red varietal). All stainless steel. Fresh, light, beautiful, approachable red with notes of pepper and blackberry juice.
The Sousón for the Flower & the Bee is hand harvested, then macerated at a low temperature in contact with the skins. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using wild yeasts, with periodic pump overs and punch downs. The Flower & the Bee spends four months in oak barrels, where it rounds out until it is bottled on a Fruit Day according to the biodynamic calendar.
"The bees that carry out the pollination of the flower of the vine are the starting point of everything in the vine and in Gomariz. It is aged for four months in wood to polish the tannins of the powerful Sousón, which results in a wine with character, fresh, fruity, and very balanced. Its uniqueness never leaves you indifferent, and attracts the best sommeliers in the world for star dishes as it is suitable for risky pairings."
-Inma Pazos & Miguel Montoto, Coto de Gomariz
