Ah, "Terras Gauda Rías Baixas Albariño'-a veritable jewel from the spectacular landscapes of Spain's Galicia, specifically the picturesque Rías Baixas DO, where the Atlantic whispers sweet nothings to the vines. This splendid Albariño unveils a bouquet of zesty lemon, fragrant white flowers, and a hint of sea breeze, tantalising the senses like a playful flirtation. The producer, Bodegas Terras Gauda, founded by the illustrious Ramón V. de Garay, is famed for its commitment to sustainable practices. Fun fact: they pioneered the use of genetic research in their vineyards-a cleverer endeavor than my attempts at crossword puzzles! Albariño, that beguiling grape, is renowned for its bright acidity and versatility; a wonderful partner in crime for seafood, particularly oysters, as the minerality complements their briny sweetness. It also loves the spicy embrace of Asian cuisine, where its zesty notes dance playfully. This delightful nectar has garnered praise, earning a commendable 90 points from Wine Enthusiast. Truly, it's one to uncap whilst contemplating life or... other intimate matters far too risqué for polite company! — 3 months ago

Very high level of acidity as promised. I do enjoy that but want a bit more sweetness for contrast. Maybe it will open up... — 12 years ago

Cheiro de cereal, um pouco de verdura... Muito cheiro de terra. Excelente. Tanino forte, um pouco de fruta vermelha, mas o álcool mais tranquilo deixa ele bem equilibrado. Meu vinho número 300 aqui. Oferecimento do meu irmão. Sensacional. (: — 8 years ago

18’ Bodegas Ramon Bilbao Albarino. Straw color.
Lime, and tart grapefruits all emerge. Racy & vibrant on the palate, with bright acidity balanced by a core of citrus blossom & a bit of salinity on the finish. Less then $20 . I do love Albarino.  — 5 years ago
