Pedro Rodríguez makes A Ponte from old vines on the terraces above the Sil, mostly Mencía with a fifth of Brancellao. Ruby with a violet rim, forest berries, violet and herbs on the nose, some smoke and spice. Fresh on the palate, with silky tannins, juicy acidity and a salty finish.

Serve it with lamb, mushroom dishes or a good Spanish chorizo. We would go for the chorizo, where the acidity stands up to the fat.

What does Guímaro mean?

Guímaro is Galician for rebel. It was the nickname of the grandfather of Pedro Manuel Rodríguez, who runs the estate in Sober today, and the nickname became the name of the adega.
