Reviewed October 2024
This has subtle aromas of dried roses with a pleasant green note. Medium- to full-bodied with lovely tension and nerve, vivid fruit and a clean, well-constructed, fruit-forward finish. Great now, but better in a year or so. (JGL)

93+ points. There is a note of violets and a touch of smoked meat in the 2022 Camiño Real that took me to the Northern Rhône. They try to select vineyards from Amandi with 50+ years of age on different soils with an average of 80% Mencía and 20% other varieties. It fermented with 60% full clusters and matured in 500-liter barrels and 5,000-liter oak vats for some 10n months. It might have a little more weight this year and comes in at 13% alcohol, but it's very balanced and fresh, with fine tannins. It drinks beautifully now. (LG)

Notes

Guímaro is a small, family-run winery located in Sober, in the Amandi subzone of Ribeira Sacra, Galicia. Led by Pedro Manuel Rodríguez, whose family has a long tradition of vine growing on the steep, rugged slopes of the region Guímaro focuses on terroir-driven wines from indigenous varieties. The name Guímaro (Galician for "rebel") honors Pedro’s grandfather. The Camin~o Real wine is sourced from 6 hectares in Amandi planted primarily to 40 to 60 years old vine Mencía, along with other native Galician varieties. All of the grapes were hand-harvested together and spontaneously fermented with 100% whole clusters in open-top oak vats with a 40-day maceration. Half of the wine was raised in foudre and the other half in used 225 and 500L French barrels for around one year. The finished wine was bottled without fining or filtration.
