COTO DE GOMARIZ
Coto de Gomariz is one of the leading
wineries in Galicia. It´s located in the
small village of Gomariz, on the right
bank of the Avia River, in the Leiro zone,
one of the best quarters of the appellation DO Ribeiro.
It all started in 1978 when Ricardo
Carreiro Ameijeiras, a local who had
made his fortune in America, started
replanting his first vineyard in the village. Since 2001 there has been a big generational change with a young team inclined to follow biodynamic practices, the
theories of Japanese Masanobu
Fukuoka and the cycles of the moon for
work in the vineyards and the winery.
Now 32 hectares of vineyards owned, 24
of which are in Gomariz itself, and the
rest in neighbouring villages. The soils
are mostly granite with some schist and
clay. Eight of these hectares are planted
with red grapes. The wines are made by
Xosé Lois Sebio, who is very active
defending wines produced from slope
vineyards. The total output is near
200,000 bottles per year, with some very
small cuvees.

9ºC. Scallops and other seafood with some complexity. Fish such as turbot, cod, smoked salmon. Baked

Josh Raynolds: Bright, green-tinged yellow. Lively,
mineral-accented citrus and orchard fruit scents are
complemented by suave floral and gingery spice
ualities. Silky and focused on the palate, offering
zesty orange and lemon pith flavors and a touch of
bitter quince. Finishes dry and focused, with strong
lift and stony persistence.
