This is an elegant and crisp red wine with Atlantic cool-climate character, moderate but fine tannins, fresh acidity and a mineral backbone with red berries and a hint of smoke. The structure resembles classic Burgundy, so it thrives with medium-weight dishes rather than the very heaviest. The mild tannin and fresh acidity cut beautifully through fat from poultry, pork and lamb, while the smoky notes play up against grilled surfaces and mature cheeses. Choose preparations with juiciness and umami, where the wine can meet the food as an equal partner.

About the wine

A crisp and elegant wine with a beautiful Atlantic character. It superbly demonstrates what the unique terroir in Ribeira Sacra can do.

A meditation wine that is incredibly pleasant while challenging the senses through extraordinary complexity, purity, and fine flavor details. The structure almost resembles classic Burgundy, but with a fruit density that can only come from this unique terroir.

A wine that will only get better in the coming years.

75% mencía, 20% brancellao, and 5% mouratón and sousón from vines that are from 62 up to 111 years old, and which are situated at an altitude of 300 - 700 meters. 

Each parcel is harvested and vinified separately. Natural malolactic fermentation in open 500L used oak barrels. Then fermentation in 300L used oak barrels. Transferred for aging in used French barriques for at least 24 months. Then aged for 6 months in large French oak barrels, 15 hl before bottling. Finally, the wine is stabilized for a minimum of 16 months in the bottle before release.

Vintage 2018 received 95 points from Parker - Wine Advocate.

Vinous
Compact and ripe, its tannins and oak integrate seamlessly. Slightly more mature than the others, it offers clear flavors, a smooth texture, and some oak grip. The 2020 is a Ribeira Sacra red with depth and length.
