Spain | Galicia | Ribeiro DO | Native Red Varieties (including Caiño Longo, Brancellao, Sousón, Ferrón)
Style: Still Red Wine
Winemaking: Vinified with a low-intervention approach using native yeasts, partial whole-cluster fermentation, and ageing in a mix of concrete, foudres, and used oak barrels to preserve freshness and showcase the purity of these historic Galician varieties

🌿 An elegant Galician red—vibrant, earthy, and deeply rooted in place.

👁 In the Glass:
Translucent ruby with violet highlights—fresh and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and wild. Aromas of redcurrant, sour cherry, rose petal, and forest floor meet subtle notes of spice, moss, and granite minerality.

👅 On the Palate:
Lively and textured. Juicy red fruits and pomegranate are lifted by bright acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a savoury, earthy complexity. Finishes long and graceful, with a whisper of herbal spice.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Pair with roast quail, chargrilled octopus, mushroom dishes, or cured meats. A superb match for nuanced cuisine and rustic elegance.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Enjoy now for its vitality, or cellar for 5–8 years to allow further aromatic complexity and integration.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
O Gran Meín Tinto is a soulful ambassador of Ribeiro’s red renaissance—authentic, expressive, and crafted with precision. A wine for those who seek beauty in elegance and terroir.
