The visually stunning Finca Cortezada vineyard was carved into a dizzyingly steep amphitheatre well over a century ago. When Fernando González Riveiro found this abandoned plot, it had been reclaimed by the mountain forest and he spent years painstakingly clearing the land and rebuilding the ancient terraces.
Located in the Ribeira del Sil sub-region, the vineyard’s walled terraces are between two and three meters high and are 200 metres long, planted to Albariño, Godello and Treixadura. These old vines are rooted in soils rich in gneiss, quartz and slate. Naturally, all the work carried out here is manual.
