SILICE VITICULTORES is a project of family and friendship, founded in 2013 by brothers Carlos and Juan Rodríguez and Galician-Swiss DJ-turned-winemaker Fredi Torres.  Fredi Torres grew up between Galicia (next door in Rías Baixas) and Switzerland and honed his craft as a winemaker in the Priorat at Clos Mogador and Sao del Coster however he was anxious to return to his Galician roots. Their lineup of small-to-tiny-production wines is racy, fresh, and fun, yet seriously elegant, with razor-sharp detail.  This is a rosé for the province drinker, the fruit is pretty and leaning underripe strawberry.  Minerality dances across of the palate with notes of pomegranate, under-ripe strawberry, and orange zest.
