Ronsel do Sil

Who they are

Ronsel do Sil S.L. is a winery of the Ribeira Sacra D.O., Ribeiras do Sil sub-zone, founded in 2010 at Sacardebois, in Parada de Sil, about 10 km from the village. María José Yravedra runs the vineyard and winery; Felipe Pérez-Somarriba handles management. It works about two hectares of very steep terraces, its own and leased from local growers, and harvests everything by hand. The reds are mencía and merenzao; the whites, godello, treixadura and dona branca. Below the winery, beside the river, it has planted a garden of native Galician varieties.

What visit it offers

Just one: a visit to the winery and a walk among the vines of the terraces above the Sil, with a tasting of wines from native varieties and a tapa. It lasts about an hour and costs €18 for adults, €9 for ages 12 to 18 and nothing for under-12s.
