Miñato da Raña 2022 · Heroic Viticulture

Miñato da Raña 2022, from Nanclares y Prieto, is a fresh, rustic, and authentic Galician red wine, born from a mountain vineyard worked on granite slopes near the Miño river. It comes from the A Raña vineyard, made up of very old vines that reflect demanding, manual viticulture deeply connected to the landscape.

The 2022 vintage combines red and white varieties planted in the same plot, following the tradition of mixed Galician vineyards. This composition provides freshness, complexity, and a very lively expression, with a light, mineral, and gastronomic profile.

The winemaking is done by hand: manual harvest, foot treading, fermentation with whole clusters in old 600-liter French oak barrels, and 9 months of aging in the same vessels. The wine is bottled without fining or filtering, respecting its natural character and the expression of the vineyard.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright ruby red with violet hues.

An ideal wine for those seeking the freshness, rusticity, and natural elegance of small-production Galician reds.
