A magnificent place that truly makes you dream of spending a vacation, the Ribeira Sacra vineyard is located in southeastern Galicia, Spain. The soils are composed of granite and schist on incredible slopes. Some plots still have very beautiful old dry stone walls! The maritime influence is undeniable, bringing softness to the ripening of the grapes.

The Fedellos do Couto winery, created in 2011, is the result of a union of several passionate winemakers: Luis Taboada, Pablo Soldavini, Curro Bareno, and Jesus Olivares. The small vineyard spans 4 hectares; winemaking is truly minimalist; fermentations use native yeasts and whole clusters, and macerations are long and gentle.

The wines are among our Cellar's favorites! They are of incredible finesse and delicacy! They somewhat resemble the style of Jura wines, very far from preconceived notions about Spanish wines!
