Ten years after harvest, Escalada 2016 is deep gold and smells of candied citrus, orange blossom, fennel and ripe yellow fruit, with honey, brioche and a little nut behind. Dense and silky on the palate, with balanced acidity and a long, mineral finish. The freshness has stayed.

Serve at 8 to 10 °C with scallops, lobster or an aged cheese. It is open now and will still keep.

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.
