Emilio Rojo’s vineyard symbolizes the success of Ribeiro’s historic viticulture. Next to the village of Ibedo, in a plot facing the rising sun, the various terraces that wind up the hillside hide the perfect balance between the decomposed granite soils, the Galician inland climate and the many local varieties. A place that preserves the winegrowing past of the Avia valley. The knowledge of generations of colleiteiros have managed to extract from this unrepeatable environment a unique wine. Emilio Rojo raises the terms of viticulture adapted to each vine, which requires an extraordinary effort in monitoring the evolution of the vineyard.

During the days prior to harvesting, the grapes were tasted vine by vine. The 2021 vintage was made respecting the optimum ripening times for each variety and each area of the plot. The grapes were harvested in 12 kg boxes. The different grapes of treixadura, albariño, lado, godello, torrontés, caíño blanco and loureira were also selected on arrival at the winery, manually with absolute control of each cluster. Fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts and continued in the same tanks for the following 12 months. For greater protection, the wine contains sulfites. It was bottled in the summer of 2022 and spent 18 months in the cellar before release.
