Ribeira Sacra · Spain
Casa de Outeiro sits in Ribeira Sacra, Galicia's steep-terraced wine region in northwestern Spain. The landscape here is dramatic—vertiginous slopes carved into granite, where old vines cling to hillsides overlooking the Miño and Sil rivers. Mencía, the region's signature red grape, thrives in this challenging terrain, developing the mineral precision and dark fruit character the variety is known for. Casa de Outeiro's Mencía reflects this terroir: structured, focused, and rooted in the schist and slate soils that define Ribeira Sacra's identity. The wine has drawn attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast.
