Silice Viticultores was founded in Sober (Lugo) by brothers Juan and Carlos Rodríguez alongside Priorat winemaker Fredi Torres, with their first vintage released in 2013 — built around genuinely artisanal, low-intervention winemaking from Ribeira Sacra's steep, vertigo-inducing terraces above the River Sil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aromatic, perfumed and floral on the nose, with a juicy palate of very fine tannin and balsamic notes of wild berries and herbs — elegant rather than powerful, true to Ribeira Sacra's cooler, more mountainous take on Mencía.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fermented with 30% whole clusters, then matured for 16 months across a mix of stainless steel, concrete and a 2,000-litre oak foudre, all on lees — a deliberately varied approach to vessel that builds texture without leaning on new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Juan and Carlos Rodríguez teamed up with Priorat's Fredi Torres to found Silice Viticultores in Sober, releasing their first vintage in 2013 with the explicit goal of making wine \"like those who came before\" — as minimal and low-intervention as possible, letting Ribeira Sacra's ancient vines and dramatic terraced terrain do the actual work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43165341778018,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Silice-Tinto.png?v=1786267374","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/silice-viticultores-tinto","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
