“Since the collaboration began, the winery has been transformed and built on the enthusiasm and commitment from both the local people and its new architects, reinvigorating an entire town for years to come.”
Winery
The winery was constructed by joining four existing stone houses, which allowed the building to maintain its original exterior architecture while transforming the interior into a modern winery.
A mix of old architecture and materials was blended with new sustainable building techniques, including natural cork insulation, thermal insulated glass, and energy efficient lighting. Original chestnut beams and stones from Antonio’s grandfather’s original bodega were also integrated into the building.
Vineyards
Our small vineyard parcels sit along the steeply terraced, south-facing slopes of the River Sil, connecting the wine regions of Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras. Here, the rugged terrain demands a careful tending of each vine, a practice which has been coined “viticultura heroica,” or “heroic viticulture,” by those who live and work in the region.
