Losada Fernandez vineyards are located in Ribeira Sacra, which is named for the many chapels that dot the rugged landscape. The vineyards are planted on stone terraces with the steep slopes of the canyons of the rivers Sil and Mino with the indigenous red mencia grape. The rivers bring relief to the hot summers and cold winters. The incredible terraces cut out of the mountainsides, recalls the Roman era in which labor was plentiful . Today, all the Losada Fernandez vineyards and terraces remain maintained on perfect condition. Every vineyard is equipped with a “lift-system” to allow the collection of grapes without breaking for the vinification process to begin at the Cellar. Also, all the vineyards have mountain spring water to facilitate farming. All have direct access by paved roads.
