Origin Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain Varieties 90% Mencía with other indigenous grape varieties (Brancellao, Merenzao, Garnacha Tintorera, etc). Vineyard From the Seoane vineyard: two adjacent plots of 80-100- year-old vines that are planted on fine-grained gneiss and schist with a seam of quartyz running down the middle. These plots are the first to be harvested every year, ripening almost a month earlier than the Camiño Novo site. Vinification Method The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented wholecluster in open-top fermenters without temperature control. Maceration lasted 40 days before pressing with a vertical press. The wine then rested for a year in 3 used French oak barrels (one 500L, one 400L, and one 228L) before bottling.
