About this Wine

O Diviso is a barrel-aged red wine produced by Laderiras by Xil for Compañia de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez in the D.O. Valdeorras.

Telmo Rodríguez has projects in various areas in Spain: in Rueda, Toro, Ribera del Duero, Malaga, Cebreros, etc. It only uses indigenous varieties from the areas where it operates to show the typical nature of these varieties in each of the terroirs where they grow.

O Diviso is a coupage of Mencía, Brancellao, Sousón, Grenache and other red and white varieties. The vineyards are farmed organically. The plants are trained in bush form and the harvest is performed manually into boxes. The vines are located at an altitude of between 550 and 725 metres above the slopes leading down to the Bibei River. The plots are terraced due to the steep slopes. They are oriented to the south, west and northwest. The soils are acid and thick in texture.

O Diviso is fermented with native yeasts in small wooden vats. In the end it undergoes a gentle ageing for 12 months in wooden foudres. Only about 800 bottles are produced which also makes it a unique and exclusive wine.

O Diviso It is a terroir wine, with aromas of undergrowth and black fruit. On the palate it is fresh but at the same time powerful. A harmonious wine that has known how to perfectly match all its elements.

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
