- The wines offer intense aromas with floral, citrus, ripe fruit notes, mineral undertones and hints of smoke and cream. The wine is dense, balanced, and fresh on the palate, with a mineral depth, fruity richness, and a straightforward and tasty profile. The finish is very long, flavoursome, and intense.
Grapes undergo whole bunch pressing in a pneumatic press, followed by static settling for 48-72 hours. Fermentation starts with Indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, and midway through fermentation, the must is transferred to 2500L French oak foudre ovals. Here, the wine matures for about 10 months. The lees are stirred monthly, aiming solely for the reductive influence of the lees, not to add more volume to the wine. A rotation of barrels occurs between new and those that have housed up to four vintages. A new barrel is introduced yearly, and an older one is retired. All the wine is fermented and aged in these barrels.

Winery | The vineyards are situated in Gomariz, within the municipality of Leiro, in the heart of the Ribeiro mountain range, more precisely in the Avia subzone. They rest at approximately 250 metres and are made of several small plots on the mountainside. The terrain is composed of shale and clay soils that rivers have fragmented and accumulated over countless years. The vines, grown on trellises, vary in age from 4 to 115 years. Smoky nuances, a hallmark of the wine, originate from the local Xisto Rubio (reddish shale), endowing it with a pronounced mineral quality. Frequent mountain fogs and hot summers distinguish the region's Atlantic climate. In the vineyard, a plant cover is maintained to keep the soil alive, and vines are nurtured using natural preparations to diminish the need for phytosanitary treatments. Organic products are used as much as possible where the conditions allow. Viticulture, vineyard management, and the harvest are conducted entirely by hand. |
