Guimaro Mencia Ribeira Sacra 2023 750ml

Producer Description 

Guimaro means 'rebel' in local dialect. Old vine Mencia vines leads to concentrated and juicy grapes. Savory and silky, with luscious flavors of red fruit, plums, earth, and sweet spice.

Cultivated since Roman times, Ribeira Sacra’s steep terraced vineyards are some of the most picturesque and treacherous to work in the world of wine – think of the Douro, Cote Rotie, or the Mosel.  Like those most dramatic terruños, winegrowing here is not for the faint of heart; it takes spirited determination, eternal optimism, a sense of tradition, and a willingness to collaborate.  Pedro Rodríguez of Adegas Guímaro embodies all of these qualities.
