Fedellos do Couto & Peixes- Ribeira Sacra & Ribeiro
“One of the most exciting new-ish names in Galicia..”
Luis Gutierrez
“The wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts and whole bunches, at low temperatures to favour a gentle extraction of colour and phenolics. All the wines share an Atlantic freshness and a slatey minerality that make these wines unmistakably Galician...”
