Ribeira Sacra
Adega Algueira

 

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.
