Made from the Mencía variety within the Ribeira Sacra D.O.

• Exhibitor: Méndez-Rojo
• Brand name: Vía Romana Añada Mencía
• Sector: VINO TINTO CON D.O. JOVEN

Vía Romana ofrece la esencia de la tierra donde crece. Las uvas, de la Ribeira Sacra del Miño, son seleccionadas tras la vendimia manual. La fermentación alcohólica se realiza en depósito de acero inoxidable. Permanece un mínimo de un año en él a temperatura controlada y se redondea en botella, sin prisas, antes de salir al mercado.Fruto de nuestro empeño por la innovación constante, hemos utilizado en la nueva añada 2015 de Vía Romana un clarificante vegetal: la proteína de guisante. Es por ello que conseguimos certificar nuestro vino como vino vegano, ¡Y es el primer vino gallego con certificación vegana!

One family, five appellations. A project united by the rivers that run through Galicia and that trace an imaginary line that connects our vineyards and feeds them. 

 

It all began in 1940, when Manuel Méndez and Maruja Otero opened Casa Penouzos in Chantada (Lugo), a wine shop that was then the trigger for a relationship that would be continued years later by Javier Méndez and Ana María Rojo, parents of Juan Luis Méndez Rojo. In this same line, and as a special tribute to his parents and to his beloved land of origin, a project is started which he names and protects with his own surnames: Méndez-Rojo; a project that reflects the trajectory, the years of experience and the knowledge of the sector, offering excellent brands of Galician wines.  

 

We start from the respect and admiration for the environment, seeking to pay tribute to the land and our people. The only project with wines from the 5 Galician designations of origin.
