Overview

With Eixe, Jesús and Curro are journeying further afield and into the Val do Sil of Valdeorras but do not expect to see the DO on the label as they have dispensed with trying to get bureaucrats to grasp their revealing and evocative site-specific wines. Eixe comes from a young, 20-year-old vineyard planted with Merenzao, Albarello, and Mouratón on a sandy alluvial slate soil. It is co-fermented in fermentation bins with hold clusters being added as they ripen and left undisturbed until it is pressed and racked into well-seasoned 500L French oak barrels for aging.
