IN THE GLASS
Blackberry, cherry and strawberry-tree fruit, with violet and the coolness of stone. It begins softly, then the acidity brings everything into focus. The finish lasts without weighing on the palate.
Oro+ in the Guía de Viños de Galicia is a good introduction. What keeps your interest is the balance: generous fruit, a lively centre and the unmistakable Mencía character of the Sil terraces. Choose the 2022 if you like a red with warmth and lift in the same mouthful.
Open it with roast chicken, mushrooms or cured meats. Let the conversation take it from there.

FROM THE TERRACES
We make wine in Ribeira Sacra, where slate, granite and slopes above the Sil give Mencía its edge. The grapes are picked by hand and brought down in small crates. Nothing chemical touches the vines; plants, flowers and the living rows are part of the work.
FROM THE SLOPES
The slopes make you slow down.
The terraces rise above the Sil. Each grape comes down by hand, and the slate under the vines gives the wine its mineral edge.
