Galicia / Red / Mencia / Organic 

Mainly Mencia from nearly 100 year old vines. Grapes carefully selected and trodden by hand in the traditional manner. Fermentation takes place in wooden cones using indigenous yeasts, lasting 50 days. Following fermentation, there's a delicate manual pressing before the wine ages for 12-14 months in French oak barrels

Notes on the producer

One of the leaders of the Ribeira Sacra appellation, this estate is now under the expertise of the talented Pedro Manuel Rodrà­guez Pérez.  It is the immense potential of the abandoned Galician terraces that caught the eye of his father and ancestors. They were without a doubt pioneers of the region's revival.

Ribiera Sacra is a very special place—in fact it literally translates “Sacred Bank—these vineyards were first terraced and planted by the Romans 2000 years ago. The climate is heavily influenced by the Atlantic which contributes to its affinity for the Mencia grape.
