Emilio Rojo's Ribeiro white is outstanding, so it's a pleasure to discover there's now a red wine under the new ownership. It's planted on the decayed granite southwest-facing slope in the valley of the river Avia, and it's a delight, with aromas of dark plums, cranberry and mint. The wine flows elegantly across the palate with succulent damson fruit and a supple velvet texture. It finishes with a defining edge of tannin, and the keynote fine Ribeiro freshness. The wine is made in a mix of large vats and stainless steel, and aged for nine months.
