Overview

Curro and Jésus consider Peixe da Estrada their village wine coming from vineyards in Fornelos de Filloás, Grixoa, and Buxán. Here they tend several small plots of 60-80-year-old vines planted to a wide range of varieties indigenous to this part of Galicia. About a third is Mencía, another third is made up of  Mourantón, Grao Negro and Garnacha Tintorera with the remainder Bastardo, Godello, Doña Blanca, Palomino and Colgadeira. These villages are all located just south of Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras.
