Guímaro - Ribeira Sacra
“One of the driving forces of the creation of the DO Ribeira Sacra, the Rodríguez family took a step forward in 1991 with the renovation and enlargement of their cellar and joined the appellation in 1996. They decided to name themselves and their wines Guímaro, after the nickname of Pedro’s grandfather, which means rebel in Galician.”
