Senda Verde is a collection of artisanal wines from regions in northern Spain that follow the 43°N parallel, stretching from coastal Galicia eastward along the northern coastline.

The 2015 line includes:

Treixadura 2015: 100% Treixadura. The Treixadura grapes are sourced from the banks of Miño River, belonging to the D.O. Ribeiro which is the most ancient appellation in the region of Galicia. The vines are arranged in the “espaldera” (trellis) system. The average age of the vines is about 25 years old and harvested at 3.35 tons/acres. The soil is a mixture of slate and granite, with presence of alluvial stones and gravel which improves the soil composition. 13.5% ABV

Albariño 2015: 100% Albariño. The grapes are sourced from the vineyards situated in the Salnés Valley and the ORosal area, within the D.O. Rías Baixas appellation. Vines are arranged in the “emparrado” and “espaldera” (trellis) systems.
