A fashionable appellation, the Ribeira Sacra is prized for its delicate wines as much as its reasonable prices. The Atlantic coastline provides maximum freshness, and the heroic terraced cultivation offers some of the most spectacular conditions in Spain! 

Guimaro is a major witness to this insolent Spanish success, producing wines of incomparable precision. In the extreme climate of Galicia, the estate crafts wines that are far removed from caricatured, powerful profiles, and are always fresh and easy to digest.
