TASTING NOTE
For the elaboration of this authentic Mencia Ribeira Sacra wine, we have used the best grapes from vineyards located in the region of O Saviñao – Lugo at 400-550 m of altitude, through traditional viticulture and manual harvesting on terraces and steep slopes in the Rivera del Miño.
Homage to our uncle Salustiano, who knew how to transmit to us in life the values and love for this wonderful land, which invites us to discover in detail and enjoy its culture and gastronomy.
A true treasure for the senses that will not leave you indifferent!
It has a deep ruby color and violet hues, with aromas of ripe raspberries, myrtillos and currants. In the mouth it is fresh, elegant and velvety with great expressiveness of the terroir it comes from.
Pairing: It goes very well with game dishes, lamb and red meats, as well as tapas and cured cheese.

TASTING NOTE
For the creation of this unique Albariño wine of Rías Baixas origin, the perfect combination of grapes from two of the best subzones of the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin have been used, including the Condado do Tea and the Valle del Salnés, attaining the desired balance for this exceptional gourmet
product.
Late manual harvest in the first half of October: we may be among the last to harvest grapes in Rías Baixas, which is a risk for the possible arrival of the rains, but is worth taking to get sweeter and more balanced grape musts with the perfect acidity. Selection of the best grapes when entering the cellar, followed by a 5-hour maceration. Alcoholic fermentation of the flower must at a controlled
temperature between 10 and 14ºC with an inert atmosphere. Finally the wine will be filtered and bottled with a rest period of 30 days before its put on the market.
It stands out because of its straw yellow color with lime green tones. On the nose, it reminds us of citrus and ripe stone fruits. In the mouth, it is balanced, fresh and mineral with hints of apricot and tropical notes that caress our palate.
It pairs perfectly with lobster, briny rice, fresh Italian pasta and aromatic Asian cuisine.
