Ronsel do Sil’s vineyards cover about 10ha on the steep, granitic, Roman-built terraces of the area and are worked manually, following sustainable and biodynamic principles, with no pesticides or herbicides used. Vel’Uveyra is a blend based on Mencía with 10% Garnacha and 5% of the local speciality Mourató (or Negreda). The wine ferments naturally in large French oak foudres followed by eight months’ ageing, then is gently fined and filtered before bottling. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Alluring floral and fruit aromas. Baskets of red berries with crisp acidity. The juice rolls over the oak, softening it a little. Builds to a bold finish. Christine Allen: Aromas of juicy plum, bruised strawberry, touches of hay and pimentón spice. Sweet strawberry lift on the palate. It has a fleshy finish with a good line of acidity. Beth Willard: Love the nose, which shows off a regional character of tomato, strawberry, Turkish delight and orange spice. Highly drinkable.
