As Caborcas 2022 is a single-vineyard field blend from Telmo Rodriguez, situated on the ancient terraces of the Bibei valley in Valdeorras. The site is a mosaic of granite and schist soils planted with Mencía, Merenzao, Sousón and Godello, all of which are co-fermented to capture the vineyard`s specific mineral identity. Rodriguez employs indigenous yeasts and large neutral oak foudres to ensure the wine retains its Atlantic freshness and floral aromatics. The 2022 vintage, though marked by summer heat, maintains a vibrant profile of wild berries, crushed stone and white pepper. Only 1,950 bottles were produced, making it a highly sought-after example of the resurgence of Galician viticulture.
