Attis Espadeiro

The magic of the Espadeiro, an almost extinct variety

Attis is one of the Galician wineries that continues to produce single-varietal wines from the Espadeiro grape, which as we say is an almost extinct variety of the Rías Baixas that must be worked with the utmost respect for its origin, properties and cultivation.

This grape brings a unique personality to the Attis Espadeiro red wine, making it one of the most special wines of the Rías Baixas Designation of Origin. Due to the shortage of Espadeiro strains, this wine is one of the limited editions of Attis, with a production of 900 bottles.

Production process of Attis Espadeiro

Tradition is something essential for the Attis winery, that’s why many of the winemaking processes such as the Espadeiro are manual, from the harvest and selection of the grapes to the pressing of these. The French oak barrels ensure that this red wine with barrel has very special nuances, thanks to the fact that it spends 12 months of rest between its wood. After this, the wine is clarified with egg white and sea water, which gives it the Atlantic touch.

Attis Espadeiro is a blast for the senses

Before tasting this monovarietal red, it is recommended to use a decanter that will help us bring to light the most hidden nuances of the Attis Espadeiro. Once decanted, we will be able to perfectly appreciate the aromas of very ripe fruit and lilies, mixed with certain touches of licorice. On the palate, it is presented as a powerful and elegant broth that prolongs its presence on the palate thanks to its acidity.

The Attis Espadeiro pairs perfectly with blue fish dishes, with cured cheese boards, with red meats and with casqueria, since its rustic style manages to bring freshness to all these combinations.
