Unit price per

Palomino and Dona Branca grown on a tiny, 0.5-hectare west-facing vineyard with clay-loam soils over quartzite and slate. The hand-picked grapes ferment in large tanks, with 70% of the wine aged for 5 months on its fine lees in stainless steel, while the remaining 30% spends the same time maturing in used 228-liter French oak barrels.

Mario Rovira named his winery "Akilia", a nod to the large eagle population in this strikingly beautiful stretch of Galicia. and made it his mission to revive old vineyards of native varieties and showcase the unique character of Bierzo’s terroir. Bright aromas of citrus and white flowers, complemented by subtle hints of mineral and herbal notes from the unique terroir. On the palate, it offers a balanced freshness with a round, textured mouthfeel, finishing with a delicate touch of oak spice and a lingering minerality.
