Fragas do Lecer
Monterrei’s distinction as a D.O. lies partly in its prevailing granitic soils, but also in its climate, which features extreme diurnal temperature ranges, that can reach 30 degrees Celsius in the dog days of summer. There are but 25 estates in the appellation, and ours is one of the best. Young scion Esteban Boo-Riveiro is the well-schooled and impassioned winemaker. Vineyard practices are essentially organic, production from the estate’s 10 hectares very limited.
