This project was born in 2018 when Roberto Rodríguez, led by his passion for traditional wine, bought a small winery and few plots of old vineyards in different expositions within Ribeira Sacra. He works organically, using few traditional local remedies against vine diseases, always keeping the biodiversity in the land. The wines are always aged in big barrels as Roberto believes they give a particular elegance to his wines. He only releases the wines to the market when they are balanced and showing a very rounded character.
 
This Mateolo is sourced from a single plot called A Veiguiña located at 260 m altitude (southwest facing), growing on clay and quartz soils. It’s a blend of 80% Mencía with a 20% of Merenzao (also known as Trousseau). Spontaneous fermentation in used French oak barrels. Aged for 4 months in barrels in contact with its lees. Only 930 bottles were made.
 
Lovely aromatics of wild fruits, forest flowers and seductive herbals. The most mineral mouthfeel you'll ever encounter!
