Xión Cuveé Tinto
“The youngest and most fruity expression of the indigenous red grapes of Rías Baixas wine region. A blend of red varietals that complement each other enhanced with a slight touch of oak from its short ageing in oak foudre. As a result, a fresh and light red wine to enjoy by glass, as aperitif or pairing your tapas, charcuterie, cheeses and pates.
