Winery	The grapes come from the Esposende and Gomariz estate vineyards in the Avia River Valley, located in the D.O. Ribeiro in Spain's Galicia region. The D.O. is between the Rias Baixas to the west and Ribeira Sacra to the east. The vines for this wine are planted around Esposende and Gomariz municipalities on a combination of terraced plots known as solos and sloped plots orientated to maximize exposure to the sun. The soils in the region are granitic sands, known locally as sabrego, which warm up quickly and retain the heat. The Atlantic Ocean greatly influences the region, which has relatively high rainfall and humidity, although its inland location shelters it from the impact of Atlantic storms. High sunshine allows the grapes to reach excellent maturity levels; however, the characteristic high acidity from the cooler influences results in wines of great balance. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal maturity.
