Ribeira Sacra is a cool-climate wine region in the northwest of Spain. Guimaro is the region’s leading producer, growing a mix of local grapes on some of the steepest vineyard slopes in the world! His wines are elegant, fresh and mineral – quite unlike the more powerful, fruit-packed reds you may be used to from warmer regions of Spain such as Ribera del Duero or Priorat.
A blend of 80% Mencía and 20% local varietals; Brancellao, Merenzao, Sousón and Caiño from old vines over 50 years old. It matured for 10-12 months in a mix of large oak casks and barrels. 2018 was an excellent vintage in the area with a long and sunny late summer and Autumn, which ripened the red grapes perfectly.
On the nose this has beguiling aromas of violets and forest fruits. It has fresh acidity and rich red and blueberry fruit on the palate, combined with gentle vanilla oak flavours to add complexity. A delightful but unusual mix of freshness, elegance, ripe fruit and power, and all with only 13% alcohol!
20,000bts were produced. Drink 2021 – 2025
Serve with roast meats, steak tartare, braised pork or grilled turkey.
Awarded 94/100pts by Wine Advocate and described as “an incredible value which overdelivers in 2018; buy by the case!”
