BODEGA COTO DE GOMARIZ Coto de Gomariz is one of the leading wineries in Galicia. It´s located in the small village of Gomariz, on the right bank of the Avia River, in the Leiro zone, one of the best quarters of the appellation DO Ribeiro. It all started in 1978 when Ricardo Carreiro Ameijeiras, a local who had made his fortune in America, started replanting his first vineyard in the village. Since 2001 there has been a big generational change with a young team inclined to follow biodynamic practices, the theories of Japanese Masanobu Fukuoka and the cycles of the moon for work in the vineyards and the winery. Now 32 hectares of vineyards owned, 24 of which are in Gomariz itself, and the rest in neighbouring villages. The soils are mostly granite with some schist and clay. Eight of these hectares are planted with red grapes. The wines are made by Xosé Lois Sebio, who is very active defending wines produced from slope vineyards. The total output is near 200,000 bottles per year, with some very small cuvees.
