Cardenal Rodrigo de Castro Tinto 2021

Embrace the resilience and elegance of Ribeira Sacra with Cardenal Rodrigo de Castro Tinto 2021, a wine shaped by the challenges and triumphs of its vintage year.

A Testament to Nature’s Balance

Crafted from Mencía and Garnacha Tintorera grapes, this medium-bodied red reflects the purity and character of the Ribeira Sacra terroir. Vibrant aromas of cherry, raspberry, and red berries lead the way, complemented by subtle floral hints of violet and delicate undertones of light wood. A mineral touch of slate adds depth and complexity, paying homage to the region’s unique terroir.

The 2021 growing season brought cool, rainy conditions and late spring hail, challenging the vines but ultimately yielding grapes with exceptional acidity and balance. Bone dry, with moderate tannins and a smooth, lingering finish, this wine embodies finesse and vibrancy, with a moderate alcohol content (12,5%) ensuring balance and drinkability.

Sustainable Viticulture, Authentic Winemaking

Our heroic vineyards, perched on slopes as steep as 70 degrees, are cultivated without pesticides or fertilizers. The vines coexist with apricot, lemon, and orange trees, allowing the grapes to naturally absorb subtle hints of their surroundings. In the bodega, low-intervention techniques honor the fruit’s integrity, delivering an authentic expression of the land and vintage.
