A wine from Galicia showcasing the finesse and elegance of great Spanish terroirs
The Estate
Founded in 1979 by Fernando Algueira, the F. Algueira estate embodies the revival of viticulture in Ribeira Sacra. Although this region seemed to have lost its precious viticultural heritage, the Algueira family dedicated themselves to reviving these sites. Today, the estate reflects authentic craftsmanship, the result of over forty years of work on the steep slopes of Doade and Abeleda. The family preserves local traditions while employing modern techniques to fully reveal the uniqueness of their terroir.
The Vineyard
Dolio comes from vineyards located on the steep terraces of Doade and Abeleda in Galicia. These plots, patiently restored by the Algueira family, benefit from optimal exposure and geological diversity that gives this Ribeira Sacra wine a rich and complex minerality. Vineyard management is based on manual labor and great respect for the environment, ensuring high-quality production.
Blend
The 2021 Dolio by F. Algueira is produced from a careful blend of indigenous grape varieties (Mencía, Brancellao, Sousón, Caíño and Merenzao).
