{"product_id":"peixes-peixe-estrada-galicia-2019-75cl","title":"Peixes, Peixe Estrada, Galicia 2019 - 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeixes is the newer project of Curro Bareño and Jesús Olivares, two of the people behind Fedellos do Couto in Ribeira Sacra. Peixe da Estrada is a red field blend from high-altitude vineyards around Viana do Bolo, on the banks of the Bibei between Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras — granite and schist, 600 metres up, Atlantic air with a continental bite. Mencía leads, co-fermented with old-vine oddities like Mourátón, Sousón and Bastardo, plus a scattering of white grapes thrown into the same vat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits outside the local DOs by choice, labelled simply as Spanish wine — the growers wanted freedom over a badge. Whole bunches macerate for a couple of months, then the wine spends a year on its lees in old foudre. Nothing is pushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 is fresh and high-toned: bramble and redcurrant, wild flowers, a herbal top note and a twist of clove. It runs light on its feet — fluid, gently tannic, more energy than weight, with pure cassis fruit and a mineral snap that reads like the mountainside it grew on. This is Galician red at its most alive, not its most powerful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrink it young and slightly cool, when you want a red that refreshes rather than fills you up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe lightly chilled, 13-15°C — a cool cellar temperature suits it far better than room warmth. No decant needed; a standard red glass is fine. Drink now while it sings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrat in Shoreditch, whose live fire and lighter reds are a natural fit. Planque in Haggerston, for the low-intervention crowd. The Wolseley, if you want it somewhere grand and unfussy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrilled octopus with paprika and oil — pulpo á feira — is the homesick pairing. Otherwise a plate of charcuterie and it keeps its footing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53674818994500,"sku":"HO30001B19","price":19.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HUB-10309126-1-IB-STOCK-N_1_c8421ccd-70dd-45bf-8756-a3829dae5893.png?v=1731424285","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/peixes-peixe-estrada-galicia-2019-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
