Production: approx. 25,000 bottles

Soils: gneiss, quartz and slate

Orientation: Southwest-facing terraced vineyards

Maturation: Six months in stainless steel tanks without lees, followed by bottle aging

Alcohol content: 14% vol

Tasting note: Clear straw yellow with a vibrant sheen. On the nose, intense fruity notes of ripe apricot, pear, and passion fruit are complemented by subtle floral and mineral nuances. On the palate, it's harmoniously balanced with fresh acidity, elegant fruitiness, and a slightly bitter-salty finish, typical of the structure of Treixadura and the mineral depth of the terroir.

Food recommendation: Recommended with grilled fish, seafood, mild cheeses and light rice dishes. Also works as an aperitif, served at 9–12°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.
