Fulcro Description
94 points Tim Atkin, MW
"Equilibrio " balance in Spanish " is a well-judged blend of grapes from three south-westfacing parcels on schist soils in Aios and Arra, both of which are part of ultra-fashionable Sanxenxo. Broader in texture than his granite-sourced whites, it has wild flower aromas, flavours of yellow apple, clementine and dried honey and a refreshing finish. 2026-31" - TA
Wine Advocate: 96+ Points
"The wine that started it all goes even one step further in nuance, complexity and even balance. I'm taking about the superb 2023 O Equilibrio, cropped from a very balanced year with good ripeness and very good freshness. It's precise, multifaceted, subtle and elegant, with incredible detail, focused and precise like a laser cut. The word is balance, which is what the wine's name means. They aim for more complexity and structure than A Pedreira, produced mostly with grapes from the Xesteira vineyard on schist soils and two small plots on sandy soils in Arra. It fermented and matured in used 400- to 700-liter French oak barrels for 11 months. It has the following parameters: 13% alcohol, 3.26 pH and 7.9 grams of acidity. At this price, the quality is unbelievable. It should age beautifully. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024." - Luis Gutierrez

James Suckling: 95 Points
"This is herbal, with austere aromas of fennel, wet slate and ocean shore. The palate is saline, medium- to full-bodied and tense, with a subtle phenolic grip and lingering salinity. Aged in neutral barrels of different sizes. Drink now or hold."
