Coto de Gomariz is run by the Carreiro family in D.O. Ribeiro (within Galicia) in northwest Spain. Viticulture in the area dates back to the 10th century and was run by various churches until the 1970s when ownership was transferred to different wineries and small-scale growers. One of these owners was Ricardo Carreiro, who then began the process of recovering and planting native grape varieties. By 1980, they bottled their first wines and over the decades since, they've transitioned their vineyards to organic and biodynamic practices. Galicia is renowned for its crisp, minerally white wines like Albariño and Treixadura but here we have a lesser known native red variety called Sousón (or "Vinhão" in Portugual). The grapes are hand harvested from young vines in their Gomariz valley vineyards, then fermented in stainless steel before getting a 4 month rest in French oak barrels. Enjoy the juicy red & black fruits, herbs and spice with pork tenderloin or Arroz con Pollo.
