RONSEL DO SIL

Rondel do Sil

This is a small wine cellar in an old winery, whose philosophy is based on enhancing the indigenous varietals by a careful artisan production.

Location

Ronsel do Sil is located 10 km from the village of Parada de Sil, close to the Parador Santo Estevo and the Monastery of Santa Cristina.

Vineyard

The objective of Ronsel do Sil is the making of high quality wines inside the Denominacion de Origen Ribeira Sacra. With this aim, cultivates two hectares of vineyards, part owned by us and part leased to local viticulturists. The totality of the land is harvested by hand in the steep bancales (old terraces built by the ancient Romans), characteristic of Ribeira Sacra. The varietals cultivated are: Mencía and Merenzao (red grapes); and Godello, Treixadura, Dona Branca (white grapes), used to produce young wines, some of them with brief aging in American and French oak barrels. Recently, a garden with plenty of different types of indigenous Galician varietals has been planted, located at the perimeter of our wine cellar on the banks of the Sil River.

Grapes

Whites: Godello, Treixadura y Dona Branca. Red: Mencía y Merenzao.
