This elegant high-altitude wine is beautiful. Here fruit grows on steep, sloping terraces that plummet towards the winding river below.

The conditions are uniquely suited to Mencia and lend themselves to this plush, juicy red emblematic of the region.

Wild strawberry, raspberry, pepper, anise and aromatic herbs.

VINTAGE REPORT: In Galicia, 2021 was a classic vintage in Ribeira Sacra, a throwback to earlier times: abundant rain in the fall and winter, a dry and warm March, and then a cool April and May that threatened (but did not deliver) frost damage. The summer started humid and mild but became hot and quite dry, with a few scattered storms that moderated ripening. Harvest started on September 11th.
