Variety: Mencia

Pedro Rodriguez, the current generation at Guimaro is truly the rebel that the winery is named after. The almost vertical vineyards have forced him to become part winemaker, part mountain climber. Pedro took over the family estate known for making some of the best wine in the small town that was only sold and consumed at the local cantinas. Pedro has moved them into a new direction though, growing some of the best Mencia in the Ribera Sacra. He has converted the winery to much smaller crops, organic certification, and truly sustainable agriculture.

Considered Guimaro’s flagship wine, this Mencía comes from many plots of vines around Ribeira Sacra with an average age of 40 years old. The wine is fermented and raised in stainless steel tanks with only native yeasts in order to preserve its fruit forward freshness. Don’t hesitate to try with a slight chill!
