Adega Algueira S.L.
Ribeira Sacra Brancellao
Ribeira Sacra, Galicia, Spain
The priciest Ribera Sacra Ive had to date, & probably most subtle. Still, a potent acid backbone along with what always seems to me finely grained tannins (in Ribera reds). Paired nicely w fantastic eggplant parmigiana, less cheesy & mire oniony. Would be curious how these wines age. 2014

Not #Mencia, if #Nebbiolo, #Grenache and #PinotNoir had a three way this is what I would expect!
