In the glass and in the cellar

Grapes: Godello, Albariño, Treixadura

Vintage: 2011

Production: 25,000 bottles

Soils: gneiss, quartz and slate

Aspect: south-west

Climate: Mediterranean microclimate with Atlantic influence

Vinification: settled statically, spontaneous fermentation at 13 °C, clarified and aged in stainless steel, stabilised and bottled

Ageing: six months in steel without lees, then bottle ageing

Alcohol: 14%

The 2011 smells of mirabelle and quince, chamomile, dried herbs, wet stone and a hint of honey. On the palate the Treixadura brings acidity and structure, the Godello a creamy texture, the Albariño salt and fruit. It has aged well and has length.

Our suggestion: pan-seared scallops. Grilled fish or a mature goat's cheese also work, at 9 to 12 °C.

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.
