  1. Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
  2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.

History

Goyo Garcia Viadero began producing wine commercially in 2001 at Villalbilla de Gumiel, using pre-phylloxera ungrafted Tinto Fino and Albillo Mayor vines. The estate became a reference for natural wine production in Ribera del Duero, working with minimal sulfur and no fining or filtration.
