Chollo 2024 is a fresh white wine crafted by the colleteiro winery Adega Manuel Formigo from ancestral vineyards of the loureira variety located in their estates Miñoteira and Portela, in the Avia Valley. Vinified following the lunar calendar, this young Galician white wine takes its name from the nickname of Manuel Formigo himself and faithfully reflects the granitic soils from which it originates. The result is a light and vibrant white wine with a pleasant mineral profile.
Cholo 2024 is a white wine made from old loureiro vines grown in the heart of the Avia Valley. Adega Manuel Formigo presents a mineral-profile white wine, the result of a manual harvest with a double selection of grape clusters, both in the vineyard and at the winery.
With the aim of preserving its properties and integrity, the grapes were transported to the winery quickly and in small tractors. Once at the winery, a gentle crushing was carried out, followed by pressing in a pneumatic press. This white wine from Adega Manuel Formigo does not undergo lees aging and was subjected to several rackings, always considering the appropriate lunar phase.
Cholo 2024 is a white wine under the D.O. Ribeiro designation, pairing especially well with poultry, white fish, and Galician-style octopus.

Tasting notes
Cholo displays an attractive straw yellow color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe stone fruit followed by balsamic and herbal notes (chamomile, linden, and pennyroyal). Fatty, delicate, and intense, with excellent acidity.
