Beyond Ribeiro
Two new producers – Mixtura and Augalevada – both call Ribeiro home. But their transformative work reaches far beyond the appellation. Stylistically, the wines nod to Jura (with playful use of flor) and Burgundy, offering both elegance and polish. More literally, their sourcing spans the region: to the Galician coast (Salnés!) and into Portugal.
