Teimosía 2018 · Tomiño

Teimosía 2018 is the fruit of the passionate collaboration between Martín Crusat, Dominique Roujou de Boubée, and Joaquín "Quín" Álvarez, a historic winegrower from O Rosal. This red wine reflects the essence of the region, marked by its proximity to the Miño River and the Atlantic, a unique microclimate that imparts freshness and character to every cluster.

The vineyards, situated on sandy-clay soils with decomposed schist, offer a privileged environment for the cultivation of indigenous varieties such as Caíño Tinto, Sousón, and Castañal. The latter, rescued and reintroduced by "Quín" Álvarez, contributes a unique heritage value and personality to the wine.

The winemaking combines tradition and modernity: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by 10 months of aging in used French oak barrels of various sizes and stainless steel tanks. Production is limited to 2,315 bottles, underscoring its artisanal and exclusive character.
