Adega Algueira is an exceptional family estate located in Doade, in the Amandi subzone, in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra appellation (Galicia, Spain ). Founded by Fernando González Riveiro in the late 1990s, the estate quickly established itself as one of the most innovative and respected in the region. What sets this estate apart: Extremely steep vineyards — some terraces have a gradient of over 80%, requiring what can only be described as “heroic” viticulture. The exclusive use of indigenous Galician grape varieties (Mencía, Merenzao, Caíño, Brancellao, Godello, Treixadura, Albariño, Loureiro...) that reflect the local terroir. A clear commitment to quality over quantity, with low yields, special attention to the soil (schist, slate, gneiss), and vinification by plot.
