Sílice Finca Rosende 2019
Exclusive and limited Galician estate wine
Sílice Finca Rosende 2019 is one of the three magnificent single-vineyard red wines from Sílice Viticultores, one of the most promising young wineries in Ribeira Sacra. Despite being produced and marketed, like the rest of its "siblings," outside the D.O., this is a wine that perfectly expresses the essence of this land, characterized by freshness, elegance, and minerality. The incomparable origin of this red wine, a century-old vineyard recovered by the winery in a steep valley, and its artisanal production make it one of the best wines from this Galician production area. Only 300 bottles of this vintage were bottled.

The winery
Winery
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.
