La Flor y La Abeja

Ribeiro’s “Golden Mile” Since the 10th Century

Coto de Gomariz is named after the village where the winery and most of its vineyards are situated, within a hilly area of Ribeiro, in Galicia. This part of the region has always been known as the Golden Mile of Ribeiro, for the exceptional quality of its vineyards, and the word “Gomariz” means “branches of vines”. It is the oldest wine producing area on the Iberian Peninsula; since the 10th century it's been known as “Golden Mile of the Ribeiro” for the exceptional quality of the vineyards. The estate has existed for centuries, and today is owned by the Carreiro family. Operations and winemaking are led by Inma Pazos, an incredibly dynamic and energetic woman who has worked with the terroir in the region for decades.

The agriculture used in their 32 hectares is organic, with many plots worked biodynamically. Located on one of the banks of the River Avia, the climate is a mix between oceanic and Mediterranean climates, which allows the fruit of the vines to mature while preserving aroma and acidity. The land is composed of three different types of soils (granitic sand, schist soil, and clay soil), giving additional complexity to the style of the wines.

They work with the traditional varieties from the region: Treixadura, Albarino and Godello for whites, and Souzon and Brancellao for the reds. The winery produces around 10,000 cases from nine wines with 'La Flor y La Abeja' making up the bulk of their production. They are unoaked, fermented naturally and bottled without filtration.
