Tasting note
Viña Meín & Emilio Rojo epitomize Ribeiro's winemaking essence. Rich in heritage, the Avia Valley boasts historical vineyards and unique soil. Sábrego soil, shaped by granite, defines its terroir. A continental climate, tempered by Atlantic influences, nurtures slow grape ripening, preserving aromatic richness.
In the press
Lightly creamy and nuanced nose, showing sliced apple, lemon and vivid oyster-shell minerality. Medium-to full-bodied and textured on the palate with bright and taut acidity that rounds off the lemony flavors before a mineral finish. Really delicious now, but can hold, too.
Viticulture
Emilio Rojo, an icon wine, epitomizes small-scale viticulture. From a 1.2-hectare plot, each vine is individually harvested, yielding Spain's finest unoaked white. On the northern Avia river slope, slow ripening enhances Treixadura, Lourero, Godello, Lado, and Torrontes skins, balancing natural sugar and acidity for exceptional flavor.
Vinification
Each vine handpicked, undergoes cold soak, then microvinified in small batches, sometimes less than 100 L. Emilio meticulously blends varietals from diverse deposits to craft the ideal yearly blend, epitomizing artisan winemaking.
