Sílice Blanco 2024 tiene su origen en un mosaico de pequeños viñedos repartidos en empinadas terrazas de suelos de granito, pizarra y arena, en pleno cañón del río Sil. Las castas autóctonas gallegas treixadura, albariño, godello, branco lexítimo y doña blanca forman un armonioso conjunto, con la palomino, en el único blanco que elabora Sílice Viticultores. Un vino de producción limitada concentrado, graso y fresco.
Sílice Blanco es un vino graso y concentrado con el frescor suficiente para reconocer su naturaleza gallega y con la mineralidad propia de la Ribeira Sacra.
Sílice Viticultores is the wine project of the Galician brothers Carlos and Juan Manuel Rodríguez and the winemaker based in Priorat, Fredi Torres. Convinced of the spectacular potential of the vertical vineyards of Ribeira Sacra, the three partners founded a small winery in 2013 in the municipality of Sober, located in the province of Lugo. With the fruit of 2 hectares of vineyards, partly owned and partly rented, they began producing fine and elegant wines outside the Designation of Origin.
The practice of environmentally respectful viticulture and artisanal winemaking, rooted in tradition, are the hallmarks of Sílice Viticultores, which has quickly led them to success. In 2017, their red wine Finca Lobeiras was awarded the Revelation Wine distinction at the Instituto Galego do Viño awards, and specialized critics such as James Suckling and Jancis Robinson have already given high scores to their creations. A meteoric trajectory for a winery that produced 3,000 bottles in its first vintage and today barely exceeds 20,000.
