New bottlings are sealed with wax from our own bees.
IN THE GLASS
The fruit comes through directly, with a firm structure beneath that soft first impression. Give it a moment in the glass: the contrast between texture and tannin is part of its appeal.
One parcel in Amandi, Ribeira Sacra. No added sulphites. Choose this 2024 for a close encounter with Mencía: the soft first impression, the firm grip, and the character of Amandi in the glass.
Mushrooms, roast vegetables and grilled meat suit it well. Take a first sip before the food arrives.

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.
