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.
 
Mateolo Tinto is sourced from plots located between 250m and 350m of altitude (southeast orientation) on clay soils with components of slate and alluvial pebbles from the River Sil. It’s made entirely with Mencía from the second press of the rest of his single vineyard cuvées. 75% of the wine was de-stemmed. Spontaneously fermented in foudre and in stainless steel tanks, and aged for 12 months in a used French oak foudre and stainless steel tanks.
