Guímaro A Ponte 2021 is a dry red wine from the DO Ribeira Sacra made by the renowned Guímaro. Its blend combines approximately 30% of Mencía with balanced proportions of native varieties such as Caiño Redondo, Caiño Longo, Sousón, Brancellao and Merenzao (Trousseau), giving rise to a unique and authentic profile.
It comes from the A Ponte plot, located on a hilltop in Amandi, planted in 2010. This vineyard, one of the highest and coolest in the area, along with the varietal diversity, contributes to its identity and complexity. The soils, composed of granite and slate with abundant quartz, contribute to its mineral character.
The grapes are harvested by hand, and fermentation takes place with native yeasts, using 100% whole clusters in used French oak vats. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to 500-liter used French oak barrels, where it rests for over a year, developing its character with precision. It is neither clarified nor filtered, and only a small amount of sulfur dioxide is added at bottling, preserving the wine's purity as much as possible.
An excellent option for those looking to buy wine online and discover a Ribeira Sacra red wine with vineyard character, freshness and authenticity.
