The 2020 Red Ribeira Sacra Finca Meixeman, predominantly made from Mencia, offers remarkable clarity and balance. Delicate floral notes and fresh herbal nuances are complemented by a touch of oak that adds subtle depth without overpowering. With refined tannins and an elegant structure, this wine retains its Mediterranean character, delivering a beautifully perfumed profile that is already a pleasure to drink.

Appellation en vogue, la Ribeira Sacra est prisée pour ses vins fins autant que ses prix sages. La façade atlantique porte en effet un maximum de fraîcheur et la culture héroïque en terrasses offre les conditions les plus spectaculaires d’Espagne !
Témoin majeur de cette insolente réussite espagnole, Guimaro réalise des cuvées d'une justesse incomparable. Dans le climat extrême de Galice, le domaine sculpte à main d’hommes des vins très loin des profils puissants et caricaturaux, toujours frais et digestes.
