90 points Wine & Spirits: "This is made by Todd Blomberg, from an estate founded by Santos in 1979. Blomberg replanted this ancient vineyard site in 2000, the vines now certified organic by Galicia’s Craega. The 2011 ripened to crisp litchi and pear flavors, tense with jasmine scents and hints of peppermint. It’s fruity and refreshing, a wine to chill for mariscos. (Oct 2012)"

Importer notes: "This special Albariño from Do Ferreiro is sourced from 200+ year old vines. Pair the Albariño Cepas Vellas with shellfish and tasty fish. Tasting Notes: It has a depth and a wealth of nuances not often found in white wines. It is harmonious in the mouth, very expressive and with a lot of vitality."
Not yet reviewed; 2010 vintage rated 93 points by International Wine Cellar: "(made from vines that are reportedly over 200 years old): Light, bright yellow. Intense, mineral-accented aromas of orange, green apple and melon, with chalk and floral accents and a touch of anise. Dry and racy on the palate, with impressive depth to its vivid orchard fruit and citrus zest flavors. Finishes bright and very long, with resonating spiciness and excellent clarity. (Sep 2012)"

A former engineer, Emilio Rojo established this estate in 1987. His tiny 2-hectare parcel on granite soils lies on terraced hillside vineyards in Ribeiro. Emilio replanted this vineyard site to the indigenous varieties that once grew on this same plot. Its north facing exposure is key in creating structure in the wines since Ribeiro is a very hot denomination. All organicallly farmed by Emilio without the use of pesticides or non organic fertilizer. One of the most unique white wines of Spain, only 50 cases are imported into the U.S.
