The vineyard
The grapes are sourced from south-facing vineyards planted on steep slate soils in Ribeira Sacra. This terroir benefits from a unique Mediterranean microclimate with a strong Atlantic influence, which lends freshness and a distinct mineral character to the vines.
Ideal combination
Winemaking
The traditional winemaking process involves foot-treading the grapes in 300-liter wooden casks and fermenting with 100% whole clusters using wild yeasts. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels to develop depth and structure.
