About Guímaro Finca Capeliños

Guímaro Finca Capeliños is a red wine produced by Bodega Guímaro in D.O. Ribeira Sacra. It is a small family winery with a low production yield, but produces wines of excellent quality.

Guímaro Finca Capeliños is a blend of the Mencía variety (85%) with Caiño, Sousón, Garnacha and Brancellao. The grapes come from the Capeliños estate with almost 100 year old vineyards, planted in terraces on slopes with a steep 50% incline on granite and slate soils. 

Bodega Guímaro practices organic farming which is respectful of the land. The harvest is done manually and the grapes are trodden in a traditional manner. Fermentation is carried out in a wooden cone with local yeasts from the vineyard itself over a period of 50 days. After fermentation, there is a light manual pressing, before ageing, which takes place over 12-14 months in 225 litre French oak barrels. Once the wine has finished ageing, Guímaro Finca Capeliños is transferred to a warehouse where it is allowed to naturally settle before bottling. 

Finca Guímaro Capeliños is a wonderful Mencía. It is the "brother" wine of El Pecado, which the renowned winemaker Raúl Perez made using the facilities and grapes of Bodega Guímaro. In total 6-8 barrels are produced from the two vines.

2013 Refreshing and robust. Exhibiting lively acidity and smooth tannins, it culminates in a lingering finish.

Captivating bright cherry hue.

Of intriguing complexity, it melds hints of red fruit with mineral undertones.
2012

The palate is a powerful, yet slim and stylish. Lots of red fruit and some minerality.

Very persistent.



Cherry red with violet hues.



The nose shows good intensity. Fresh, balsamic red fruits, floral notes, spices and some lactic memories of ageing.
