"With it’s bright ruby/garnet hue and acidity this Guimaro Tinto shows layers of tangy marionberry, plum, tart red cherries and racy and earthy currant fruits as well as flinty mineral spice, a hint of orange rind, anise and subtle violet florals, all wrapped in a light-medium bodied wine.'' 91 Points, grapelive.com (USA)

"The Ribeira Sacra, which means “Sacred Banks” in Gallego, the local Galician dialect is home to the most difficult to farm vines in the world, it is more like the Mosel than Rioja, it’s cool climate zone that produces wines of fine mineral charm and bright flavors. I love the Adega Guimaro’s wines, especially this lovely fresh Tinto, it’s one of the best red wines for the money I’ve ever had in a lighter style, it reminds me of Fleurie (Gamay) meets Crozes-Hermitage (Syrah) with a touch of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir added, it’s dry, juicy and full of personality." 91 Points, grapelive.com (USA)

A joyful, lithe and juicy Mencia from the cool hills of Galicia's Ribeira Sacra. Pure and silky with lovely fresh red fruit and a captivating tobacco accent.
