Founded in 1998 by Fernando González and his wife Ana Pérez in the Amandi subzone. Their 22 acres of land include the majestic Carballocovo plot, a true landmark in Ribeira Sacra. Southern exposure, schist soils, heroic viticulture and a humble winemaking that relies in the natural process (ambient yeasts, spontaneous malolactic fermentation), foot-crushing, fermenting in open vats with a judicious amount of stems, and using old neutral oak as a general rule.

Fincas is made with very Atlantic varieties such as Caíño and Sousón, with clusters on foot, macerations of 15 days and aging for 12-15 months in chestnut and French oak barrels of 225 and 300 liters.
Details Soils: Slate Orientation: South Climate: Mediterranean microclimate
Elaboration Crushed with the feet in wooden barrels 300L. Fermentation with the same 100% scratch without yeast inoculation. Devatting, pressing and completion of MLF and FAL in barrel.
Aging 11 months in French oak

Tasting The wine has garnet red color with a marked violet rim of middle layer, with very balsamic notes of the menthol range, red fruit and orange rust.
It is a spicy character reminiscent of the Galician Atlantic forest (oak inflorescences, nettle).
On the palate it is lively wine, with a crispy, citric and persistent tannin has a very meaty finish.
