Guimaro (meaning “rebel” in Gallego, the regional language of Galicia) is an apt name for this wine from 40-year-old Mencía vines in Ribeira Sacra. The wine is dripping with notes of tart red berries, flowers, herbs, balsamic glaze, along with crushed-rock minerality. Stick anything on the grill, and this wine will offer the perfect pairing. This delicious introduction to Riberia Sacra is well worth the modest price tag attached to it.
