Ribeira Sacra: what heroic viticulture really means
By Alfred Widmer
Gradients above 30 percent, terraces built by the Romans, 25 hectares spread over 86 parcels: what heroic viticulture in the Ribeira Sacra actually involves, and how it tastes.
According to Luis Gutiérrez's report (Robert Parker Wine Advocate, July 2025), Galicia is developing into one of Spain's most exciting wine regions. The wines impress with their freshness, elegance, and great diversity, characterized by native grape varieties and the influence of small, organic winemakers. Also particularly noteworthy is James Suckling's selection of the Meixemán from Guímaro as Spain's best wine.
