Bright, intense yellow color with greenish highlights. This wine exhibits remarkable aromatic intensity and pronounced minerality. The nose reveals ripe white fruits beautifully intertwined with subtle herbal undertones and hints of Mediterranean scrubland. On the palate, it is exceptionally well-balanced, offering a silky texture, elegant freshness, and a long, persistent finish.

The soil in the Val do Galir is predominantly slate and has a southern exposure, which enhances grape ripening due to the heat reflection from the soil onto the vines. In contrast, the soils near the Sil River are more clay-rich, with gravel and a northern exposure, leading to later ripening. This difference results in grapes that produce wines with a more floral and precise profile. This wine is aged on its lees in stainless steel tanks for three months.

The Virgen del Galir winery is located in Éntoma, a small village in Orense. It has been part of the CVNE family since 2018. The Galir Valley falls under the Valdeorras DO (designation of origin). The winery’s philosophy is to make wines that reflect the values of the land whilst respecting local traditions. This begins with the winery’s name, a tribute to Our Lady of Galir, the protector of the region’s vineyards.
