Unlike the Pizarra, the Homenaje comes from east-facing slopes in Amandi and spends 21 months in small barriques rather than large casks. Deep ruby in the glass, with forest berries, stewed plum, cinnamon, clove, cedar and fresh tobacco on the nose. Silky tannins and lively acidity, then dark chocolate, leather and slate on the finish.
It still has many years ahead, so there is no need to open it now. If you do, serve it at 16 to 18 °C with braised meat, game or aged cheese.

The winery
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%.

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.
