O Estranxeiro Ribeira Sacra Tinto 2022

$2499

O Estranxeiro means "the foreigner" in Galician — a nod to the fact that Eulogio Pomares is technically an outsider in Ribeira Sacra. Pomares made his name running Bodegas Zárate, his family's celebrated Rías Baixas estate, before launching this project with his wife Rebeca Montero in 2019. Fruit comes from two contrasting sites — slate-and-granite slopes above the Sil in Amandi, and granite-driven Atlantic-cooled vineyards above the Miño in A Cova. Mostly Mencía, farmed organically (a serious commitment in Galicia's rain), fermented with wild yeasts in chestnut botti and concrete, then aged in old wood. Vivid, terroir-honest, alive.

Robert Parker

92 points

"The 2022 O Estranxeiro fermented in concrete and oak vats. They gave up the stainless steel, where they feel Mencía gets more reductive, and this matured in oak and concrete for seven months. It has notes of wild berries, herbs and flowers, with a spicy twist. It has 13% alcohol, a juicy texture, round tannins and moderate acidity. They keep buying and renting vineyards and advancing slowly in the project."
