It comes from one of their oldest vineyards, planted with a field blend of 70% Mencía and the rest a myriad of other varieties, Brancellao, Merenzao, Garnacha, Mouratón, Negreda and Sousón. It fermented with 100% full clusters in large barrels and matured in 500-liter barrels for 12 months. The palate is silky and elegant and the tannins very fine, and it's fine-boned and balanced. It has contained ripeness and only 12.5% alcohol. With time in the glass, the character of the slate soils comes through, making it mineral-driven. Only 800 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlace:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribeira Sacra, Galicia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Almost entirely Mencía, with a few vines of local varieties intermixed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e From single 1.2 Ha parcel (Pombeiras) of seventy-plus year-old vines at the center of the slope in Amandi.

After fermentation, the wine was racked to 225 L and 500L used French oak barrels, where it rested for more than a year. No fining, no filtering, and only a small sulfur addition at bottling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galicia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43798641672326,"sku":"CELLAR-guimaroCAPELINOS","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/guimaro_pombeiras.png?v=1776484814","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/guimaro-ribeira-sacra-finca-pombeiras-2022","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
