Reviews
The Wine Advocate 93/100
The young and unoaked 2022 Vino Blanco was produced with 70% Godello and the remaining 30% other whites, Treixadura, Albariño, Torrontés and Loureira from different plots in different villages with different soils, expositions and altitudes, trying to replicate the whites from the past, which were always blends. It's very young, very balsamic with marked notes of bay leaves, and it has a savory palate with a velvety texture, juicy and structured but keeping very good freshness and balance. It has a moderate 12.5% alcohol. 10,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in May 2023. Guímaro doesn't stop experimenting; they showed me three new wines this year, and they are testing granite eggs and doing some trials with fortified wines with the help of Niepoort. They have 16 hectares of vineyards and control a further 26 across Ribeira Sacra. They produce around 200,000 bottles, divided in 11 different labels.
