The grapes for this wine come from the A Villeira vineyard (Abejera). Located in As Ermitas, Valdeorras, this is an excellent vineyard of exceptional quality, a stone-terraced plot of some 2 hectares. It was built by hand in the 19th century. It lies in the northern area of the Valdeorras region, in the Village os As Ermitas, on the southern side of the Bibei river. The plot, built on terraces, is subject to a wide variety of climatic exposures.

The soil is granitic schist and, because of its mountainous location, the only way to work the land is by hand or with the help of animals. Sustainable viticulture is carried out. Hard harvesting in 15kg crates permits grape selection. It is then followed by whole bunch fermentation in small oak vessels. Fermentation is completed using the yeasts naturally present on the grapes.

The 2018 harvest in As Ermitas took place during the last week of September. A dry summer enabled full ripening in the grapes and this resulted in a fresh and aromatic harvest. Yields were lower due to rains during flowering. 2018 could well be one of the best harvests of the last 10 years. Clean and bright cherry red color. The nose is intense, floral, and mineral. The palate is fresh, with good acidity, concentration, and a long finish
