RibeiroFerrón

Also known as Ferrol, this is a Ribeiro D.O. native red variety and is very expressive, bringing aroma and taste to wines.  As is often the case in the Ribeiro, it is normally blended with other varieties, but it is also suitable for producing monovarietals.

It is a difficult variety, with average vigour, fertility and productivity. It adapts well to loose soils, behaves well in long pruning, provided production is monitored, and is moderately susceptible to drought and very susceptible to wind and over-exposure to the sun. Average budding and ripening periods .

It has good resistance to mildew but low to botrytis (grey mould) and oidium.
