AboutFento
Fento Wines is the Galician project of viticulturist and winemaker Eulogio Pomares. Based in Ribadumia, he works across different Galician regions, grape varieties and vineyard sites.
In the Salnés Valley, Atlantic-facing vineyards look towards the Arousa and Pontevedra estuaries, with Albariño growing alongside local red varieties. Pomares adjusts his cellar work to the conditions of each harvest.

Fermentation takes place in concrete and oak vats rather than stainless steel, and maturation lasts seven months in oak and concrete. Wild berries, herbs and flowers appear with spice. The wine has a juicy texture, round tannins and moderate acidity, with thirteen percent alcohol. Made entirely from Mencía, this red wine comes from Ribeira Sacra in Galicia.
Fento 2021 Bico do Cabo Albariño Rías Baixas
Spanish White
$41.99
Green apple and ripe peach lead this bright coastal white, with citrus peel and a light saline note adding definition. The palate is clean and fruit-forward, balancing refreshing acidity with a gently rounded texture. Crisp rather than austere, it carries orchard fruit and maritime freshness into a long, composed and delicately mineral finish.
Fento 2020 Tinto Rías Baixas
Spanish Red
$34.99
Tart red fruit and wild berries lead, edged by bramble, balsamic herbs and a subtle peppery note. The palate is light on its feet, with vivid acidity keeping the fruit direct and energetic. A savoury mineral line adds shape without heaviness, carrying the native red blend into a fresh, clean and gently rustic finish.
