Bright cherry red with a middle layer and violet edges. Clean and elegant tears.
Intense and fresh aromas of wild red fruits (blueberry, cherry, raspberry), with floral nuances (violet, lavender), spicy notes (white pepper, cloves) and a mineral background reminiscent of wet granite.
Juicy entry, with fine and very well integrated tannins. Balanced palate, with good acidity and silky texture. Long, fresh, slightly earthy finish, which leaves a persistent and elegant fruity sensation.
A-Villeira 2021 is the purest and most elegant expression of a historic vineyard situated on terraces of decomposed granite, hand-built in the 19th century. This limited and carefully managed edition aims to capture the essence of its origin: the inhospitable, high-altitude environment of As Ermitas, with its poor soils and cool climate, yields exceptionally ripe and balanced grapes.
After a manual harvest and whole-cluster fermentation in oak barrels, the wine remains in contact with the wood for a year, which adds structure without masking the fruit. The presence of indigenous varieties contributes complexity, while Mencía provides the fresh, mineral character.
A-Villeira 2021 is a subtitle of Galician viticulture, a blend of innovation and tradition, and represents Virxe de Galir's commitment to the authenticity, landscape and expressive intensity of its wines.
Perfect for discerning palates looking for an estate wine with a story, sustainability, and soul.
