Casal de Armán was founded in the late 1990’s by the González family, who have been making Ribeiro wines since the 19th century. Vines for this wine are planted terraced along the river banks with heights ranging from 650-1500 feet above sea level. The 2017 Casal de Arman Red Wine is a blend of 33% Brancellao, 33% Souson and 34% Caino. Not needing a decant to get started, right out of the gate this opens with heady black fruits that meld with exotic spices and sandalwood tones that all take shape in the glass. The palate has good freshness and verve, with medium-bodied red currant, sour cherry and cigar box flavors. Fantastic in its youth, the Casal de Arman Red Wine will cellar well for a decade.
