La Perdida Malas Uvas White Vadeorras Galicia 2021 is a unique blend of 80% Palomino and 20% Doña Blanca grapes grown in the rugged and mountainous Vadeorras region of Galicia, Spain. This wine is characterized by its fresh and lively taste profile, with notes of citrus, green apple, and a touch of minerality.
The winemaking process for Malas Uvas involves the use of traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting, whole-cluster pressing, and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on its lees for several months, giving it a rich texture and depth of flavor.
The winemaker behind La Perdida, Nacho González, is a former rock musician turned wine producer who is passionate about working with local grape varieties and preserving traditional winemaking methods. His philosophy is to let the grapes and the terroir speak for themselves, creating wines that are true to their origins.
La Perdida Malas Uvas has received critical acclaim from wine enthusiasts and industry experts alike, earning high scores from publications such as Wine Advocate and Vinous. It is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of this small, independent producer.
