Rías Baixas Albariño 2023

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! — 2 months ago

Rías Baixas Brancellao

100 % Brancellao, an indigenous variety from Galicia, sourced from vineyards in the Condado de Tea subzone, an inland strip in the southern part of the Rías Baixas appellation (close to Ribeiro). Delicate, perfumed nose with notes of red fruit, smoke and some floral, medicinal notes. Light, ethereal and fresh. Slightly rustic, dusty tannins — 3 years ago

Terras do Demo Espumante Brut Touriga Nacional Rosé 2019

Those peppery tannins! Soft and powdery. There's an incredible mineral finish to this that makes it much more than a raspberry soda. — 2 years ago
