Roico 2023 · Tomiño, Galicia

Roico 2023, produced by Adega do Vimbio, is an authentic and natural expression of the vineyards of Goian, Tomiño. The winery, run by Martín Crusat and Patricia Elola, is characterized by its commitment to sustainable agriculture and minimal intervention, always seeking to reflect the purity of the soil and the Atlantic climate in its wines.

The grapes come from the Veque and O Gaiteiro vineyards, located on schist and clay soils. These soils, combined with the marine influence of the Atlantic, give the wine unique minerality and freshness. The 2023 vintage, marked by warm temperatures and optimal ripening, allowed for grapes of great concentration and balance.

Production is carried out with natural yeasts and maceration with their skins, a method that provides texture and complexity. After fermentation, the wine is neither stabilized nor filtered, and no SO₂ is added, preserving its natural character. It may contain deposits, a sign of its purity and minimal intervention.
