Silente 2021 is produced by Adega Saíñas, a winery known for its commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture. Located in Espasantes, within the Ribeiras do Miño subregion, Adega Saiñas cultivates its vineyards on steep terraces at altitudes ranging from 340 to 420 meters, where the sandy loam soils, predominantly granite, ensure excellent drainage and optimal sun exposure.

The 2021 harvest, characterized by a balanced inland Atlantic climate, was carried out manually in the second half of September. The grapes were rigorously selected both in the vineyard and in the winery. The wine fermented with native yeasts and underwent spontaneous malolactic fermentation. For aging, 85% of the wine was kept in stainless steel tanks and the remaining 15% in French oak barrels, giving it exceptional complexity and balance.

Tasting Notes

Silente 2021 has a vibrant ruby red color. On the nose, it displays a blend of aromas of fresh red fruits, wild spices, and delicate notes of graphite. On the palate, it is a medium-bodied wine with well-integrated tannins, offering remarkable freshness and a long, spicy finish. The well-balanced acidity and soft tannins make this wine a versatile choice to pair with a variety of dishes.
