Corga

Galician Mencía and Alvarelhao from Ribeira Sacra's granite slopes.

Corga is situated in Ribeira Sacra, Galicia's steep-terraced river valley where Atlantic moisture and granite soils shape wines of mineral precision. The winery works with indigenous varieties that define the region's character. Its Brancellao, made from Alvarelhao grapes, demonstrates the textural complexity these old vines can achieve. The Barrica 12 Messes Mencía—aged in oak—shows how Mencía, Ribeira Sacra's signature red variety, develops structure and depth with time. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate. Corga's focus on these native grapes reflects the broader commitment in Galicia to reviving and refining varieties long rooted in the region's terroir.
