GUTIER SEIJO MIXTURA WHITE 2020
Mixtura (Independent wines) is the personal project of the Galician viticulturist and oenologist Gutier Seijo. After its premiere with its basic range called MIX, on this occasion, Gutier surprises us with a new white, Mixtura blanco 2019, a white that makes a qualitative leap with respect to the MIX range, a white that recently received the Award. for the Best Revelation Wine of the Peñín Guide 2022.
In 2019, Gutier left Dominio do Bibei to bet on his own project. A project that he builds on the search and recovery of historic vineyards and their autochthonous varieties. Gutier settles in Esposende (Rivadavia), in the Avia Valley, in the heart of the Ribeiro where he rehabilitates an abandoned 50s winery, creating a unique architectural space of noble materials such as stone and wood to work on his creations singular. Gutier selects historic vineyards, with special characteristics that he seeks and, in this case also, despite the fact that the grapes come from three different areas, they have a connecting link.
