Aturuxo 2020 is a red wine from Pedro Méndez, produced in the Val do Salnés subregion of Rías Baixas. This wine is made with native grapes such as Caíño Tinto, grown on decomposed granite soils that provide a distinctive minerality. The winery follows sustainable, low-intervention winemaking practices, allowing the terroir to fully express itself in each bottle.

Pedro Méndez does a great job recovering native varieties from the area, making wines outside the DO. Caiño Tinto is a native Galician grape known for its acidity and aromatic properties. These grapes come from old vineyards located in the Rías Baixas region, specifically in Val do Salnés. The combination of granitic soils and the Atlantic climate give this wine a distinctive freshness and salinity.
