NATURAL WINES BY LA PERDIDA
La Perdida is Nacho González, a biologist who settled in Larouco, in Valdeorras in Galicia, and founded the winery in 2012. It started with O Trancado, a 70-year-old parcel inherited from his grandmother. Today he farms around 5 hectares over roughly 30 plots of isolated, half-forgotten old bush vines, hence the name 'island wines', on granite, slate-rich clay and limestone. The main grapes are Garnacha Tintorera and Palomino, with Godello, Mencía, Doña Branca and Sumoll also being planted.
Nacho ages his wines for about ten months in clay tinajas from a potter in Albacete, or in old oak, and adds no sulphur. Whites often get long skin contact. Look out for O Trancado from that original family vineyard, Proscrito, mostly Palomino with a little Garnacha Tintorera, which comes out pink, and A Chaira, built around Doña Branca.
