The nose presents varietal character with pure blackberry and raspberry notes that are both expressive and powerful. The palate demonstrates balance with a full-bodied structure, departing from the region's typical lightness.

Described by Luis Gutiérrez as \"one of the region’s leading producers with incredible vineyard holdings\", this family-run winery is internationally recognised for producing refined wines from breathtaking vineyards perched on steep slopes that plunge towards the Sil River. \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eWhile viticulture in Ribeira Sacra dates back to the Romans, phylloxera, economic depression and civil war left the terraced vineyards abandoned and worthless. In 1980, the year Fernando González Riveiro came to the region, it was a complete ruin. Convinced of its potential, he began the painstaking work to restore some of these forgotten vineyards. Years later, in 1996, the same year the Ribeira Sacra appellation was created, he built a winery in the renowned subregion of Amandi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64684193055097,"sku":"203135325","price":16.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/AdegaAlgueiraRibeiraSacraMencia.png?v=1790146238","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/adega-algueira-ribeira-sacra-mencia-2025","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
