Algueira Ribeira Sacra Carravel 2017 gsm The wine was aged inBoth Algueiras flagship Mencas are released five years after harvest. While the Pizarra hails from the warmer terroir of the Carballo Cobo vineyard, Carravel is drawn from several old vine terraces which hug a cool zone of perilously steep slate and schist soils in the Doade subregion.
