Aba Solleira

Mencia from Galicia's most dramatic terroir, Ribeira Sacra.

Aba Solleira sits in Ribeira Sacra, Galicia's steep-terraced river valley in northwestern Spain. The region's dramatic granite slopes and Atlantic influence create conditions suited to Mencia, the indigenous dark-skinned variety that defines serious reds here. Aba Solleira's Mencia expresses the grape's characteristic structure and mineral tension—a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. Ribeira Sacra remains one of Spain's most distinctive terroirs, where old-vine Mencia from low-yielding parcels develops complexity and depth. The winery's focus on this single varietal reflects both regional tradition and the particular demands of farming these challenging slopes.
