"Super Hero" Tinto 2016 Xose Lois Sebio
"Super Hero" Tinto 2016 is a Spanish wine produced by the Xose Lois Sebio winery. It is made from a blend of indigenous grapes (10% Macabeo, 20% Tempranillo, 5% Godello, 20% Caino Tinto, 20% Ferrol, 15% Caino Longo, 10% Bastardo) from very old vines growing on steep slopes surrounded by stone walls.
This type of layout makes cultivation very difficult, which is why the grapes are harvested last, at full maturity, which together with the composition of the old soils results in lighter, less concentrated and very fruity wines. Red wines that are different from the Galician canons. The "Super Hero" is so called to symbolise the fight against clonal wines, from all that is common, commercial and globalised, it reflects a little bit all the ideas and production philosophy of Sebio.
The grapes are harvested by hand, then fermentation takes place in open stainless steel containers, where Malolactic fermentation begins and ends in barriques where the wine is aged for 14 months. Intense ruby red in colour with purple highlights, the wine expresses a mouth-watering bouquet of dark berry fruit, together with black pepper and mineral notes. The taste is enjoyable and balanced, with fruity hints, soft tannins and a nice freshness on the long finish.
