Teimosía 2018 is the fruit of a passionate collaboration between Martín Crusat, Dominique Roujou de Boubée, and Joaquín "Quín" Álvarez, a longtime winemaker from O Rosal. This red wine captures the unique essence of the region, benefiting from its proximity to the Miño River and the Atlantic Ocean, which gives it a distinctive microclimate.

The vineyards, located on sandy-clay soils over decomposed shale, offer ideal conditions for the ripening of the Caíño Tinto, Castañal, and Sousón grapes. The latter varietal, Castañal, was rescued and reintroduced by "Quín" Álvarez, adding a layer of uniqueness and heritage to this wine.

The production of Teimosía 2018 includes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by a 10-month aging process in used French oak barrels of various sizes and stainless steel tanks. Production is limited, with only 2,315 bottles, which underscores the artisanal and exclusive character of this wine. The combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques highlights the pure expression of the O Rosal terroir.

Tasting Notes

This wine has a deep, opaque red color, while the nose displays an explosion of aromas of violets, black fruits, and an earthy undertone. On the palate, it is juicy and medium-bodied, with notable acidity that provides freshness and liveliness, culminating in a persistent and enveloping finish. The integration of these different elements makes Teimosía 2018 a rich and complex wine experience.
