915 bottles of pure Merenzao from the A Burata dá Salamanca plot, the youngest Xcelso Patao we stock. Delicate ruby in the glass, red berries and violet on the nose, fine-grained tannins, herbs and a mineral close.

Still unsure?

Where do Carlos Carballo's wine names come from?

Both honour his parents. Viña Aurita is named after his late mother Aurita, Xcelso Patao after his father, whose nickname is Patao. Despite his age, his father still helps Carlos in the vineyard every day. The two call themselves artisan oenologists.
