About O Gran Mein I Lustro

In Ribeiro, the Middle Ages represented the golden era of wine. Historical documents from that period reveal that this region exported its wines as far as England. So much so that at the wedding of Charles I and Isabella of Portugal, held in Seville, the toast was made with Ribeiro wine, not with a generic Galician white, but with the wine that continues to define the identity of this land today.

Amidst this viticultural landscape lies Meín, one of the earliest documented villages in Ribeiro. As early as 1158, it was mentioned as a privileged location for grape production. Today, a large granite stone attached to the winery's house serves as a reminder of that past, a symbol of a tradition that endures. Founded in 1988, the winery, its house, and the terraces of Finca Meín form a unique ensemble where history and viticulture blend harmoniously.

Its wine, Viña Meín, is a mosaic of grape varieties and landscapes that populate the terraces dominating the slopes. Crafted with treixadura, torrontés, albariño, godello, loureira, caíño blanco, and lado, the vineyard is tended as it was in the 12th century.

The soil consists of sábrego, decomposed granite that imparts minerality and character to the wines. The climate, Atlantic with a strong inland influence, completes the magic. The harvest, conducted in 12-kilogram boxes, involves multiple passes to collect each variety and plot separately.

For vinification, each plot and variety ferments separately, whether in stainless steel, concrete, stoneware, or oak, to capture the utmost expression of the terroir. The ageing process occurs on lees for 12 months, and afterwards, the wine rests for a lustro (5 years) in the bottle before reaching the market, achieving a complexity and depth that reflect centuries of history and dedication.

O Gran Mein I Lustro is a wine that has rested five years in the bottle to capture the essence of time and the memory of its land. A tribute to its medieval roots and the most prestigious historical Ribeiro.
