“There is something ethereal about the 2022 Finca Pombeiras that I like very much. It comes from one of their oldest vineyards, planted with a field blend of 70% Mencía and the rest a myriad of other varieties, Brancellao, Merenzao, Garnacha, Mouratón, Negreda and Sousón. It fermented with 100% full clusters in large barrels and matured in 500-liter barrels for 12 months. The palate is silky and elegant and the tannins very fine, and it’s fine-boned and balanced. It has contained ripeness and only 12.5% alcohol. With time in the glass, the character of the slate soils comes through, making it mineral-driven. Only 800 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024. Drink: 2025-2033. 97 points
Pedro Guímaro considers 2022 a very good vintage for his wines. It was a warm and dry year and some started harvesting quite early. But he waited, and there was some rain, and around September 20th he picked the grapes. The wines have lower alcohol and more freshness—the Pombeiras has a surprising 12.5% alcohol, the lowest for a very long time!”
