The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The Ribeira Sacra has become one of Spain’s most exciting appellations, admired for its refined wines and still-reasonable prices. The Atlantic influence brings maximum freshness, while the dramatic terraced vineyards create some of the most spectacular conditions in the country.

At the heart of this success story is Guímaro, crafting wines of striking precision. In Galicia’s extreme climate, the estate shapes cuvées by hand that are the very opposite of heavy, overblown styles—always fresh, vibrant, and effortless to drink.
Wine The 2020 Red Ribeira Sacra Finca Meixeman, predominantly made from Mencia, offers remarkable clarity and balance. Delicate floral notes and fresh herbal nuances are complemented by a touch of oak that adds subtle depth without overpowering. With refined tannins and an elegant structure, this wine retains its Mediterranean character, delivering a beautifully perfumed profile that is already a pleasure to drink. Rated 94/100 by Parker.
Vinification Vines located between 350 and 450m altitude and around 70 years old. Hand-harvested. Traditional vinification. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
