Guímaro Ribeira Sacra Blanco

Predominantly Godello, with small amounts of other local varieties, from 50+ year old vines planted on slate soils. Organically farmed, hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. No malolactic. No fining or filtering.  

Cultivated since Roman times, Ribeira Sacra’s steep terraced vineyards are some of the most picturesque and treacherous to work in the world of wine. Pedro Rodríguez of Adegas Guímaro descends from a long line of winegrowers working in the Amandi area, Ribeira Sacra’s most prime subzone of perilously steep south facing vineyards planted on local Losa slate, just above the river Sil. After years making wine for local consumption, Pedro's parents Manolo and Carmen established their winery Guímaro (meaning “rebel” in Gallego) in 1991.
