Description

The Formigo is a deliciously refreshing blend of Treixadura, Godello and Palomino from Ribeiro in Galicia. The wine has an impeccable balance of ripe citrus fruits, a slight grassy freshness and beautifully poised acidity.  This is a wonderful aperitif but is also custom built to match all manner of shellfish dishes. 


Manuel Formigo set himself up as a Colleiteiro in 2006 and is therefore formally recognised as a small grower.  Colleiteiros are limited to producing 60,000 litres of wine which must all be from their own vineyards.  Manuel owns 6 hectares of vines spread over 7 plots in the inland region of Ribeiro and is passionate about growing indigenous varities to Galicia.

Puligny Montrachet Meunier.JPG

2021 Puligny Montrachet, Domaine Meunier

Chardonnay

The grapes for this approachable Puligny are hand harvested and undergo a gentle pressing.  The juice is then left to settle for a few days then put into French oak barrels, 30% of which are new. Indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation and the wine spends 12 months in barrel before being blended and bottled.  Great persistence in the mouth, this wine has a wonderful freshness to it and can be enjoyed in it's youth.
