"The 2021 Finca Pombeiras felt more exuberant than the 2021 Finca Capeliños. It fermented in open-top barrels with 100% full clusters and then matured in used 500-liter oak barrels for the élevage of one year. It has darker fruit, and it's spicy and a little earthy with some dusty tannins. Only 800 bottles. It was bottled in May 2023." 95+pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate

Guímaro Finca Pombeiras is an explosive, floral, spicy and herbaceous red wine.
Made with mencía and brancellao, merenzao, garnacha, mouratón, negreda and sousón from Finca Pombeiras, vineyards over 70 years old, facing south, located at an altitude of 350-400 meters above sea level, and on granite soil and deep slate.
Located in Sober, in the Amandi subzone, Adegas Guímaro is one of the firms that has promoted the development of terroir wines in the Ribeira Sacra . The young face of the winery, Pedro Manuel Rodríguez , is the heir to a line of winegrowers who for generations have tamed and shaped the area's very steep slopes, a task for which the term heroic viticulture has been coined.
