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 are racy, fresh, and fun, yet seriously elegant, with razor-sharp detail, and structure to age.  Xabrega Blanco is a blend 30% Treixadura, 30% Albariño, 30% Branco Lexítimo and 10% a blend of other grapes from very old vines on decomposed granite soils. It fermented and matured with lees in stainless steel—this leans to a riper style of fruit with nutty textural element.
