    Guímaro

    Na twintig jaar hard werken heeft Pedro een prachtig domein gecreëerd dat klaar is voor de toekomst. Het bezoek aan de wijngaarden is indrukwekkend! Wat een helden werk wordt hier verricht om het mogelijk te maken deze unieke wijnen te bottelen! Zo steil en dus alles met hand! Er is geen enkele twijfel over de succesvolle toekomst van Guímaro, mede doordat Gutiérrez van Parker al meerdere malen de Finca Capellinos als beste wijn van Galicië heeft uitgeroepen! All time favourite!

    The single-vineyard 2021 Finca Meixeman, produced with the grapes from one of the oldest family vineyards with soils of granite and slate, showed superb. It's perfumed, subtle and ethereal, light to medium-bodied but with lots of energy and light. It's 70% Mencía with 30% other grapes and achieved a moderate 13% alcohol in this cooler and rainier year whose freshness is reflected in the wine here. It fermented with 65% full clusters and had a 50-day maceration, then it aged in used 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels for 10 to 12 months. 8,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in June 2023. 96/100 Luis Gutiérrez

    Guímaro doesn't stop experimenting; they showed me three new wines this year, and they are testing granite eggs and doing some trials with fortified wines with the help of Niepoort. They have 16 hectares of vineyards and control a further 26 across Ribeira Sacra. They produce around 200,000 bottles, divided in 11 different labels. I tasted wines mostly from 2021 and 2022. 2021 could be considered a classical vintage; it was harvested between the 13th of September and 10th of October, the dates that were normal 15 or 20 years ago. Yields were good but the weather was challenging, with constant rain and cooler temperatures. The wines have a very fresh profile. 2022 was very warm in other regions, but they consider it very good for them, with the harvest taking place between the 13th of September and third of October. They had enough rain, the weather was not as extreme as in other regions and they achieved wines with a lot of freshness but with more structure than in 2021.
