Sipping Fine Wine

Had this a few yrs ago, aged well. Mather Teresina, flagship wine of Celler Vinos Piñol, grapes grown in high elevation region of Terra Alta. Nearly extinct Morenillo grape is indigenous to the area & makes Mather Teresina a unique wine, a blend of 50% Garnacha, 30% Cariñena & 20% Morenillo. Nice aromas of berries & sweet spice. On the palate cherry flavors with vanilla spice adding black pepper notes on smooth fine tannins. Long finish ending with sweet fruit tones & earthy character. Nice! — 2 days ago

Color me shocked at how good this was. I’m a big fan of Antica Terra wines, and while I’m always impressed, my expectations for this 10yr old OR Chardonnay were vastly blown out of the water.

The main reason I opened this bottle is I thought the age would have been more evident, and it would be channeling a more rich, slightly oxidized type profile, and would go with an assortment of blue cheese I was sampling at a small local event. Upon opening, color is still gorgeously yellow gold. First impression was it came across thin yet still had really vibrant acidity…very steely and mineral driven. About an hour later, this absolutely exploded out of the glass as of it was a different wine. Pear, grilled lemon and lots of honeysuckle aromatics. It bulked up on the palate with supreme texture and balance showing a kiss of oak. Creamy yet weightless. Lemon confit, honeyed golden delicious apple, sea spray, and a rounded finish with plenty of baking spices yet the core of minerality was still there. This left me scratching my head in a good way…I seriously need to find another. This is the best OR Chardonnay I’ve ever had. — a month ago

Delicious and refreshing Chenin Blanc and Viognier!! At this price point, one could enjoy a bottle daily. Certainly this would be a wonderful pairing for so many dishes. This was a 2019 vintage, 85% Chenin Blanc and 15% Viognier. The Terra D’oro Winery notes this has aromatics of orange blossom, lemon curd and quince. — 7 days ago
