Sourced from a single vineyard planted in 1904, this wine is the purest expression of the Mencia variety – a wine created by the Earth and brought to your glass with minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar. The Aeiroá vineyard is one of the most unique in Valdeorras. Planted in pure slate soils on the steep, inclined slopes overlooking the Sil River, this vineyard creates a darker, more intense expression of Mencía than what is typically found in Valdeorras.
Town of Raxoá, in the Valley of Valdeorras, Province of Ourense, in the Northeast of the D.O.
