Fidellos is a project run created by Curro Barreño and Jesús Olivares. Both ore originally from the Gredos region but for Fedellos they work in two areas of Ribeira Sacra in Galicia, north west Spain, on terraces along the steep slopes of the rivers Sil and Bibei, planted with a myriad of grape varieties, altitudes, and expositions. On these steep sites all work is by hand - you couldn't do otherwise on these steep terraces! All the wines share an Atlantic freshness and a slatey minerality that make these wines unmistakably Galician.

Lomba dos Ares is a blend of local, traditional varieties. Lifted, perfumed, fresh red. The essence of Ribeira Sacra.
