Mencía from the terraces

From the steep terraces above the Sil, these are reds with the place still in them. Some are easy company. Some ask you to slow down. All of them begin in Ribeira Sacra and end wherever you decide the day needs a good bottle.

The vineyard

The slopes make you slow down.

Near Amandi, small parcels rest on slate and granite above the Sil. Every grape is cut by hand and carried out in small crates. No herbicides in the rows; native plants and wild creatures are welcome company. The work is deliberate, because the place demands it.
