Brandán is Algueira's Godello without wood or lees ageing, made for drinking now. Pale yellow with green glints, green apple, pear and lemon, plus freshly cut hay. Clear acidity on the palate, a dense texture and the light bitter note Godello often has at the end.

Chill it for an aperitif or serve it with shellfish, crab, white fish and rice dishes. It also works with Asian food; we would pour it with dim sum.

The winery

Algueira

In 1979 Fernando planted his first plot on an overgrown piece of land belonging to his wife Ana's family. Today the vines grow on Roman-era terraces above the Sil, on slopes of up to 85%.

Still unsure?

How long has Algueira existed, and who started it?

It began in 1979, when Fernando planted his first plot, “Carballo Cobo”, on an overgrown piece of land belonging to his wife Ana's family. Reviving viticulture in such a tough setting was a real risk. Today the family farms around 25 hectares in 86 plots along the Sil and beyond. Algueira is one of the pioneers that brought heroic viticulture back to the Ribeira Sacra.
