Pedro Rodríguez descends from a long line of colleteiros. He works in the Amandi area, Ribeira Sacra’s prime subzone with south-facing vineyards planted on slate, called Losa locally, just above the river Sil.

Camiño Real is one of the most gorgeous bottles of Mencía we have enjoyed to date. From 6 hectares in Amandi planted primarily to 40 to 60 years old vine Mencía, along with other native Galician varieties. All of the grapes were hand-harvested together and spontaneously fermented with 100% whole clusters in open-top oak vats with a 40-day maceration. Half of the wine was raised in foudre and the other half in used 225 & 500L French barrels for around one year. The finished wine was bottled without fining or filtration.

Camiño Real is a delightful wine that is both elegant and fresh. It boasts a lovely aroma of fresh red fruit with floral notes and a mineral undertone. On the palate, it is easy to drink and showcases its unique character. This wine offers incredible value for its price.
