Nestled at the eastern edge of Galicia, the Ribeiro DO is split by three rivers. Coto de Gomariz is located in the zone of Ribeiro where the slopes overlook the Avia river and consists of 27 hectares. Shisteous, granitic and sandy soils, steep slopes, tiny yields and a unique microclimate make this spot ideal for growing the local varieties which include Treixadura, Godello, Loureira and Albariño. Owner Ricardo Carreiro and winemaker Xosé Lois Sebio have introduced biodynamic principles, and are producing great wines at great prices.

Nestled at the eastern edge of Galicia, the Ribeiro DO is split by three rivers. Coto de Gomariz is located in the zone of Ribeiro where the slopes overlook the Avia river and consists of 27 hectares. Shisteous, granitic and sandy soils, steep slopes, tiny yields and a unique microclimate make this spot ideal for growing the local varieties like Souson. Winemakers Ricardo Carreiro and Xosé Lois Sebio are introducing biodynamic principles. The Cuvee Caco comes from selected Souson and Caino Longo grapes here joined by other local varieties Caino da Terra and Carabuleira. After 20 months in new French and American 500 litre barrels the wine spends a further year or more in bottle prior to release. A fresh and complex blend gaining differing nuances from its assemblage and a ripe core of toasted fruits from its production.
