From the wild, steep heart of Galicia, this is a field blend grown on terraced sites at 800 to 850 meters on sandy granite, mica, and quartzite soils, farmed by one of Ribeira Sacra’s most exciting young projects. It’s led by Mencía and co-planted with old-vine locals like Mouratón, Grao Negro, and a handful of white grapes, whole-cluster fermented and raised in neutral oak. It’s bright, perfumed, and precise, with fragrant red fruit, sweet spice, and a juicy, dark-fruited finish.
About The Producer
Fedellos do Couto, nestled in Galicia’s rugged Ribeira Sacra region, is a dynamic winery that blends centuries-old traditions with modern winemaking. Established in 2013, the project is the brainchild of winemakers Curro Bareño and Jesús Olivares, who partnered with the historic Couto family estate, a property dating back to the 12th century. The name “Fedellos,” meaning “mischievous ones,” reflects their adventurous spirit and commitment to revitalizing the region’s indigenous grape varieties, such as Mencía, Godello, and Brancellao. Farming is done sustainably across steep, terraced vineyards that cling to the dramatic riverbanks, with a focus on minimal intervention to highlight the unique terroirs of Ribeira Sacra. Today, Fedellos do Couto is celebrated for its elegant, fresh, and terroir-driven wines that capture the soul of Galicia, earning acclaim both locally and on the international stage.
