Guimaro Ribera Sacra Tinto Mencia 2023

Winery Notes: Guímaro is the perfect intro to the wines of Ribeira Sacra (Galicia) and one of the greatest values in wines today. Dark-fruited with tons of energy and lift, from multiple plots of Mencía vines with an average age of 40 years. The region has produced wine since the Roman era, and Winemaker Pedro Rodríguez, through sheer will and determination, undertakes the backbreaking labor this terroir demands to reveal wines of unmistakable energy that, frankly, are simply delicious. Pedro vinifies naturally: organic fruit fermented with a large portion of whole clusters, in open-top vats sans temperature control or additions. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
