"Dandelion" by @nanclaresyprieto is an expressive white wine from Rías Baixas, a coastal region in northwestern Spain & known for its crisp, mineral-driven Albariño (the same grape used in most Portuguese Vinho Verde). It bursts with flavors of salty peaches, juicy melon, and grapefruit. @alberto_nanclares was an economist in Madrid before he and his wife moved to Rías Baixas to be closer to the sea. E While he didn't intend to become a winemaker, the land he purchased came with vines. With the help of his neighbors, he gave it a go and later partnered with @silvia_prieto3 - a consultant and specialist in organic, traditional viticulture. Their dedication to purity makes all the difference in this iconic wine, transporting you to the Atlantic coast-it's my favorite Albariño to date! • Organically farmed and crafted with a low-intervention approach, this wine's label depicts the region's traditional "parras" trellising system of growing grapes 7-10 feet high to improve air circulation (preventing mildew) and maximize sun exposure (promoting ripening) in humid vineyards. Although Rías Baixas wasn't a major player on the international wine scene until the '80s and '90s, it now produces Spain's premier white wines-and more than half of the region's winemakers are women! — a day ago
@delectable this was the “Erea do Pobo.” Blend of godello and some other stuff. Beautiful wine, lots of citrus and a tinge of tropical with white flowers, mineral cut and curious herbaceous finish, a little like pine resin maybe — a month ago
Drank this with some lentil soup and braised cabbage that a dear friend made for me. Solid pairing. Wine itself starts out mineraly and leaves you with just the slightest tinge of a dried date. I’m also obsessed with the ruby red color. — 2 months ago
Black cherries, blackberries slightly wild. Juicy, some teeth, fresh but some depth too. Like a Spanish cousin to Moulin A Vent. Really liked this & well made. — 8 months ago
