LG Valbuxán is an expressive and terroir-true red wine from D.O. Valdeorras in Galicia, which reflects the local terroir and traditional cultivation on steep, granite slopes. It is an authentic, approachable wine with mineral depth and freshness that faithfully reflects the character of the region and the historic Pazo Valbuxán, around which this project was born.
Grape variety: Mencía, Brancellao, Sousón and Garnacha Tintorera, traditional local varieties that together create a harmonious, aromatically complex and balanced wine profile.
Vineyard: The grapes come from small vineyards around the Valbuxán estate and the villages of As Ermidas and Santa Cruz, farmed with an emphasis on organic and sustainable practices, with hand harvesting and careful selection, supporting intense aroma and expression of terroir.
Production and ageing: Fermentation takes place spontaneously with native yeasts in open oak tanks, after which the wine ages for several months in French oak foudres and barrique barrels, giving the wine depth, a fine texture and a sophisticated integration of oak without excessive vanilla notes.
Taste and aroma: In the glass, LG Valbuxán offers juicy red and dark fruit, mineral tones from the granite soils, a subtle herbal and spicy component and smooth, velvety tannins. The wine is medium-bodied, with balanced acidity and a long, harmonious finish that reflects the freshness and authenticity of the Valdeorras terroir.
Food pairing: The recommended serving temperature is 16–18 °C. It goes wonderfully with roasted and grilled meat, lamb, game, stews, and also with more pronounced mature cheeses.
