Casa de Outeiro Meco Mencia
Casa de Outeiro Meco Mencia offers a taste of the Ribeira Sacra region with a focus on vibrant red fruit and earthy notes. This is a lighter-bodied red wine with fresh acidity, with flavours of strawberries, raspberries, and violets. On the palate there is a subtle floral character, along with hints of sweet tobacco and herbal notes.
Producer
The first documentary references to the Casa de Outeiro date back to 1488 and are related
to the Chan de Pena family, possibly descendants of some line of the Valcárcel and Quiroga families.
From then on, the House of Outeiro passed from father to son or daughter, sometimes to siblings, even to a grandson who, while still a child, became the new owner of nothing less than the House of Outeiro, Orbán, Fingoy, Neira de Rey. More recently, at the beginning of the 20th century, the family of the famous writer Ánxel Fole resided in the House, until 1915, when one of his halfsisters, Mercedes, became the universal heir. The Casa de Outeiro then passed to his daughters, Mercedes and Cristina Maseda Fole. In 2019, Mercedes and Cristina’s heirs sold the house and the plot to us.
We are Noemí Álvarez and Juan L. Vázquez, we were born in 1986, we live in Quiroga, our village. We have always dreamed big and our humble origins have not prevented us
from getting here and being able to tell you our own story. Our project was born with the Maseda Fole family in 2019, when Mercedes, heiress of the Casa de Outeiro, gave us part
of her history in those walls in exchange for a promise, to rebuild La Casa and its 6 centuries of history. This promise is our present and our future.
