• James Suckling: Aromas of meat, spice, berries and dried flowers. Its medium-bodied with round, juicy tannins that turn fresh and easy. Slight earthy finish. Savory. Drink now.

Producer Information

The Virgen del Galir winery is located in ntoma, a small village in Orense. It has been part of the CVNE family since 2018. The Galir Valley falls under the Valdeorras DO (designation of origin). The winerys philosophy is to make wines that reflect the values of the land whilst respecting local traditions. This begins with the winerys name, a tribute to Our Lady of Galir, the protector of the regions vineyards. In recent years, several vineyards have been replanted and recovered in the Galir and Bibei Valleys to produce a complete range of villa (terroir), parcela (plot of land) and gran cru wines. The white wines of Virgen del Galir are made with grapes from the Galir Valley, an area with a lot of slate and vineyards at high altitude. The red wines are harvested from vines grown on granite soil, from plots in the Galir and Bibei Valleys. The Virgen del Galir team is young and dynamic, closely linked to the environment and traditions of this place, with extensive knowledge of the area. Miguel Tienda and the oenologist Jorge Navascues are responsible for heading up the team and contribute their extensive experience in the wine sector and their great ideas to a project with a promising future.
