The essence of Ribeiro: complexity, elegance, and Galician freshness
The O Gran Mein Blanco 2022 is the prestigious 'Village Wine' from the historic Viña Mein estate. A masterful blend of local grape varieties that reflect the soul of Galicia, sourced from small vineyards (minifundios) in the Avia Valley. The maturation takes place partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in large oak barrels and concrete eggs — resulting in a beautiful texture without the wood dominating.
