It is a spectacularly steep set of river valleys studded with tiny, terraced, slate-and-granite-rich parcels of old vines, most of which are planted with mencía, a beautifully terroir-expressive red variety. Pedro Rodríguez’s practicing-organic family winery Adegas Guímaro has become one of the reference-point producers in the Ribeira Sacra. 'Camiño Real' is 85% mencía plus half a dozen other local varieties from 40-60 year old vines growing in a typically vertiginous vineyard, with altitudes ascending from 350 to 500 meters. The wine ferments 100% whole-cluster in open-top oak vats with 40 days of maceration. It ages in used barrels of various sizes for about a year and is bottled unfiltered and unfined. The fruit suggests cherry and kirsch, along with floral, black pepper, and granite-y mineral notes. There’s vibrant acidity with moderate tannin. Pairing ideas include pork, including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eporco alentejana\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e (Portuguese pork and clam stew), steak au poivre, and portobello mushroom steak.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Paul Marcus Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47652802789634,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/0718\/9669\/files\/b72f6e4d-5397-4a98-bc73-b0d04c2a3ee7.jpg?v=1775843044","url":"https:\/\/shop.paulmarcuswines.com\/products\/2022-guimaro-ribeira-sacra-camino-real","provider":"Paul Marcus Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
