Winery
The brothers Juan and Carlos Rodríguez together with Fredi Torres created in 2013 this project where they restart the winemaking tradition of the Rodríguez family in the Ribeira Sacra, in Sober. A faithful respect for the vineyards and the terroir of the area and a traditional winemaking process are the hallmark of this winery. Althought at the beginning they did not want to join the Ribeira Sacra Designation of Origin, their wines reflect all the richness and respect for this terroir.
