Tasting Note

Cherry red and medium layer, very clean and bright wine. On the nose, once the reductive notes typical of the variety disappear, there is an explosion of red fruit (raspberry, cherry) and blackberries, which, together with the combined lactic notes, remind us of trinkets (strawberry lollipops). And with very present mineral notes (graphite). The attack on the palate is fresh, but as it runs through the mouth, we find an enveloping, warm wine that reflects the excellent relationship between acidity and glycerin.

Algueira

Algueira is a family-owned business that started in 1980 with Fernando and his wife, Ana. They started with just a few vineyards, a small winery and in 1998 created the brand ‘Algueira.’ The vineyards are in the mountains on the banks of the river Sil. We work on teracces built on slopes of up to 75 degrees of inclination and in over a 40 year period they have grown to become an award-winning intentional winery that has helped to put Ribera Sacra on the map in both the wine industry and the wine-tourist industry of Spain.
