Botella de Attis Espadeiro

Attis Espadeiro

All our single varietal reds follow the same winemaking philosophy seeking to transfer you to the most Atlantic Galicia. A rich and diverse land like the almost forgotten and abandoned red varietals in this secluded white wine region. Wines with very good acidity that have completely different personalities thanks to its authentic varietal expressions.
Attis Espadeiro is the result of our effort to recover an indigenous grape almost extinct. A Rias Baixas red wine with a lot of personality, true to its grape character rustic and austere brings freshness to the pairings with blue fish, cured cheeses, red meats and offal.
