- A layered fragrant blend highlighting notes of violet, blackberry, redcurrant, and plums, combined with subtle hints of black pepper and mineral tones. Elegant and expansive on the palate, offering concentrated fruit, and fine tannins with a balancing freshness. The rich yet vibrant finish is wonderfully intense and long.
This wine is from the DO Ribeiro, which means River Bank in Galician, as it is located along the Milo river and its tributaries, in Galicia, North West Spain. The vineyards are planted on steep slopes at 150 to 300 metres' elevation and are surrounded by stone walls and are the last to be harvested. A blend of indigenous varieties, the vines range from 50 to 70 years old. These vines are low yielding and produce wines with fine tannnins and excellent fruit intensity. Planted at an altitude of 150 to 350 metres above sea-level, the vines are free-standing and trained with a stake in the traditional manner, at a density of 1.25 x 1.25 metres. The soils are clay with schist, the latter imparting mineral tones to the wine. The 35% of 'other grapes' in the blend is a field blend of Ferrol, Souson, Brancellao, Bastardo
Winemaker Xose Lois Sebio has produced this stunning eponymous collection of wines as a result of a personal quest: to find wines with unique personalities from more risky processing zones and with a very marked identity. This original and quirky range is
made from high-quality grapes in areas that are often neglected or simply different; vineyards that are difficult to farm due to the high costs of conventional viticulture. Away from fashions and conventions, the sole intention is to respect and express the
soil, variety, and area; producing wines with soul and personality. The wines are vinified with minimal intervention and low sulfur. These are collectible wines for lovers of the authentic and different.
