A Taste of Excellence

Hand-harvested Mencía grapes are the foundation of this vintage, offering a vibrant medley of red fruits—cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate—enhanced by floral notes of violet and a touch of mineral depth. With its medium body, balanced acidity, and smooth tannins, this wine delivers a refined and harmonious palate.

Crafted in Harmony with Nature

Our vineyards flourish on slopes as steep as 70 degrees, a testament to the heroic viticulture of Ribeira Sacra. These vines grow without added pesticides or fertilizers, thriving in harmony with their environment. Surrounded by local apricot, lemon, and orange trees, the grapes naturally absorb hints of these fruits, creating subtle nuances in every bottle.

In the bodega, we use low-intervention techniques to preserve the purity of the fruit, allowing nature to guide the winemaking process and ensuring an authentic expression of the land.
