Winemaking
Grapes used for Maruxa come from our terraced vineyards in the village of Entoma, Valderrosal and Valdemioto vineyards. Clay and decomposed schist soils. Manual harvest in 15 kgs cases. Cold maceration of the grapes in scale fridges and of the must 48 hours before alcoholic fermentation. Destemmed but not crushed in order to preserve the primary aromas. Fermentation with autochthonous yeast.
Harvest Description
The 2018 harvest took place during the second fortnight of September. A dry summer provided full grape maturity, and a fresh and aromatic harvest. Yields were lower due to rains during the bloom. It could be one of the best harvests of the last 10 years.
Virgen Del Galir
The Virgen Del Galir winery was founded in 2002 in a valley of the Galir River, in Éntoma, a small village in Orense, Galicia, Northern Spain. The “Camino de Santiago” crosses through this village.
Virgen Del Galir is a member of the Valdeorras DO.
This semi-forgotten region has extraordinary vineyards.
Virgen Del Galir owns 20 hectares of vineyards on practically as many plots, on a valley of the Galir River. Altitude is over 600m.
The ground is made up almost entirely of decomposed schist on terraces.
