Nestled in the heart of Galicia, the Valdeorras terroir is renowned for its granite hillsides bathed in Atlantic sunlight. This organic red wine intensely expresses the purity of the Mencía grape variety, revealing deep aromas of ripe red fruits, violets, and undergrowth. On the palate, the silky texture blends with a rare mineral freshness, a signature of the terroir. The artisanal vinification in stainless steel vats preserves the liveliness of the fruit and the finesse of the grain. Ideal with grilled duck breast, mushroom risotto, or mature cheeses.
Telmo Rodríguez is considered one of the most influential and respected winemakers in Spain. Originally from the Basque Country, he trained at the Bordeaux Institute of Oenology, then with renowned winemakers such as Cos d’Estournel, Jean-Louis Chave, and Domaine de Trévallon. Returning to Spain, he began producing wines for the Remelluri family estate in Rioja before founding his own winery in 1994 with a clear vision: to revive the often-overlooked great Spanish terroirs.
Instead of following the industrial route, Telmo chooses to work with native grape varieties (such as Verdejo, Mencia, Garnacha, Godello, and Moscatel) and old vines cultivated using traditional goblet-trained methods. He rejects trellis-trained plantings and favors living soils, often cultivated organically or biodynamically, without claiming this as a marketing tool. What matters above all is the balance, freshness, and sincerity of the wine.
Today, he produces in more than ten regions, from Galicia to Andalusia: Rueda, Valdeorras, Ribera del Duero, Málaga, Alicante, Cebreros, and Castilla y León. Each wine reflects the identity of a place, a climate, and a grape variety—always in a pure, precise style deeply rooted in the local culture. The vintages range from accessible and easy-drinking bottles to truly great wines for aging, all marked by great precision.
At Telmo Rodríguez, wine is a story of place, respect, and elegance.
