Luis Anxo Rodríguez Vázquez established his artisanal estate in 1988 in Arnoia, a village historically renowned for field-blended Ribeiro wines. Operating from a small, traditional cellar, he spearheaded the regional revival of indigenous Galician grapes like Treixadura, Lado, and Ferrón while moving away from high-yielding clones. His low-yield, sustainably farmed vines thrive on steep, terraced granitic hillsides that require meticulous manual labor. Through minimal intervention and extended lees aging, the winery crafts complex, cellar-worthy bottles that serve as the benchmarks for modern Ribeiro wine.
'Viña de Martín Escolma' Blanco is the flagship white cuvée from master winemaker Luis Anxo Rodríguez Vázquez, produced only in exceptional vintages from his oldest, lowest-yielding vines in Arnoia. The blend is dominated by native Treixadura and rounded out with Lado, Albariño, and Torrontés, all grown on steep terraces of decomposed granite. To develop its profound structure, the wine undergoes indigenous yeast fermentation and spends 12 months on its lees in fine oak casks. It is then aged in the bottle for an additional three years, resulting in a deeply complex, age-worthy white defined by vibrant acidity, layered stone fruit, and a distinct saline minerality.
