Fedellos Do Couto Bastarda 2018 (750ml)

Known as Merenzao in Valdeorras and across the border in Portugal as Bastardo, this variety originates from the foothills of the Alps, where it is known as Trousseau. So unique are its racy, red-fruit flavors and spiciness that Fedellos do Couto makes a varietal-based cuvée of Bastardo from their vineyards. As with their other wines, some other varieties are co-fermented with the Bastardo. Please don’t ask us for exact percentages as not even Curro or Jesús could tell you. And to keep you off balance, they also call it Bastarda
