Ribeiro

RibeiroBrancellao

This is the third most commonly found native red variety in the Ribeiro area, with good aroma and glycerine content and low in polyphenol. It is used as a complementary variety to add aromatic complexity and oiliness to the blend.

It is of average production, with a semi-upright habit and horizontal growth.  It ripens easily and has a fairly long cycle with early leaf buds and a medium ripening period.

It is highly resistant to botrytis (grey mould), average tolerance to mildew and low to oidium.

Further information:

Its good ageing qualities enables musts with a high sugar content and medium acidity to be obtained, producing wines that have little structure and are aromatic, full-bodied, oily and unctuous.

It is mostly used in blends alongside other varieties that have a higher polyphenolic content to achieve greater aromatic complexity. It contributes aromas, particularly red berries, balancing the taste and strengthening unctuousness, volume and oiliness.

This variety's low polyphenolic content makes it unsuitable for ageing (Crianza).
