Spec sheet
The wine
Peixes is the new adventure in wines from Jesús Olivares and Curro Bareño, the founders of the Fedellos Do Couto winery. To bring about the project they had in mind, they searched for forgotten vineyards beyond the limits of the DO Ribeira Sacra and DO Valdeorras appellations they usually work in, which gave them freedom to mix grapes from both sides of the River Bibei. In these areas around the town of Viana do Bolo, at the limit of where grapes can be successfully cultivated, the climate is cool and plots are at high altitudes (up to 850 metres high), although the landscape is not as steep and rugged as other spots due to the closeness of the river. Different local varieties are planted as bush vines all together mixed up together in the same vineyards.
Their respect for the cool terroir is clearly seen by the fact they do not use chemical products on the land and they limit mechanical interventions to as few as possible. This, together with the local varieties they have chosen, enables them to produce wines full of character and emotion, like this one; the Peixes Lacazán. It is the result also of wild yeast and ripe stalks used, and offers a brilliant red colour and a lively aromatic nose. It is a wine with fresh fragrances, and is agile, flowery and crispy on the palate. It has a clearly mineral and saline personality, which comes out through fantastic red fruits of the forest. All in all, a very moreish wine! It brings out the particular aromas of each local grape variety used, as if it were a basket of fruits or a bunch of flowers, showing us the values of grapes other than the typical Mencia and Godello grapes found in the Bibei valley. The end result; a wine with an intense Atlantic soul. Granite can be sensed in each sip, giving strength and complexity to the body of a wine which tries to be discrete but whose character comes out to the front as you drink, offering us a fuller, wider wine with every moment that passes.

Customer reviews
Un buen inicio.
Es una bodega que acaba de empezar y aunque no va a ser un vino que vaya a quedar en mi memoria, no está del todo mal.

Un vino para quienes busquen vinos ligeros, de sed. Un auténtico vinazo
