Adega Algueira S.L.
Ribeira Sacra Brancellao
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

May 4th, 2013Bloody nose iron ore. Vivacious with mouth drying minerality; reminds a little of volcanic island wine.

Mar 24th, 2018Shit son, this is a wonderfully complex light red. Leather, very well balanced tannins, almost a bit of quinine on the end. Merenzao for the win!
