His ambition was to restore the family’s vineyards and revive the reputation of Gomariz, a historic winegrowing village in Ribeiro.

Medieval monasteries helped develop Ribeiro’s vineyards, terraces, and cellars, establishing wine as an important part of the region’s economy. The estate’s labels bear the phrase \u003c\/span\u003e“Dende o Século X”—“since the tenth century”\u003cspan\u003e—a reference to the area’s winegrowing heritage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA new chapter began in \u003c\/span\u003e2000\u003cspan\u003e, when Ricardo’s son, \u003c\/span\u003eRicardo Carreiro Álvarez\u003cspan\u003e, joined the project and the present winery was built. Alongside its whites, the estate helped renew interest in \u003c\/span\u003eRibeiro’s native red varieties and age-worthy red wines\u003cspan\u003e. Its approach centers on understanding individual vineyard parcels and vinifying them separately to preserve their distinctive character. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vineyards encompass \u003c\/span\u003eclay, schist, and sandy granite soils\u003cspan\u003e, supporting a diverse collection of Galician grapes.

Since \u003c\/span\u003e2004\u003cspan\u003e, vineyard management has incorporated organic and biodynamic principles alongside soil-conservation ideas inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka; the winery describes these practices as\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003euncertified\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, Ricardo Carreiro Álvarez continues his parents’ work.

The grapes achieved good ripeness, and the wine has 13% alcohol, with a pH of 3.29 and 5.81 grams of acidity, coming through as balanced. This is the entry-level varietal range produced in white and red. It's tasty and clean with some ripe notes in the finish. 70,000 bottles were produced.
