Salvaxe is the result of Treixadura, Albariño, Godello, Verdello, Torrontés and others, from old vines in Gomariz. Old vineyards that make possible the birth of a different project. Traditional viticulture, together with organic farming principles. Together with permaculture work inspired by Fukuoka.
The extraordinary depth and fleshiness of the old vines revealed a different, concentrated and flavorful wine. Its cultivation method means less production, but provides more volume and fruit intensity. Minerality and fruitiness in equal parts. Added to the concentration and finesse, they make it different.
Image: It is an illustration that reflects the claw of a wild beast that was not domesticated. Salvaxe is a pure wine in the field and winery. Without manipulation or intervention. Minimum doses of sulphites and a slight filtering. It is the concept of “catching” some vines that grow freely in the bottle. This has taken us a few years to capture it in this wine.
