OUR WINES
Lagar do Vento is a family vineyard and winery based in Galicia, Nortwest Spain. We have a limited production of four thousand bottles, including red and white.
Our commitment to quality and artisan production has been rewarded with our inclusion in different guides. Our mencía Do Peizás 2018 was recognized as the best red wine in the Ribeira Sacra.
At Lagar do Vento we employ sustainable and regenerative practices committed to the conservation of landscape.
RIBEIRA SACRA
Ribeira Sacra ("sacred bank") is one of the five designations of origin (DO) dedicated to wine in Galicia.
Thanks to its dramatic landscape and the largest concentration of romanesque monasteries in Europe, the Ribeira Sacra has been declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.
Its peculiar orography requires that the vineyards be distributed on terraces, making mechanization of the vintage process impossible.
For this type of exclusively artisan exploitation the term "heroic viticulture" was coined, which refers to the particular effort and skill required for harvesting in this context.
