Casal de Armán
Eira Dos Mouros Ribeiro Treixadura
Ribeiro, Galicia, Spain
I was worried it might be past its prime, but I am delightfully surprised. There's still a touch of stone fruit and wet stones, but another layer of honeycomb and kerosene, too. Super rich texture with salinity to cut through.

Portuguese grape called Treixadura, but made in Northern Spain. Pretty floral nose, full bodied & a lemon curd & fresh berry thingy going on. Unique and the kind of thing I want to be discovering.

Really tasty white. Tropical fruits with hint of sweetness at end. From a Spanish wine dinner pairing. Would definitely buy this again. Treixadura grape is new to me.

Tropical fruit salad! Kiwi, pineapple, nectarine, stony minerals, lightly floral, totally quaffable and pairs better with a wide variety of food than most wines. Ribeiro btg ftw :)

Fruit forward aromas that come through on the palate... ripe cantaloupe, peach, and a touch of honey... along with some nonfruit/mineral notes almost verging on the petrol of a Riesling. A lush body from the ripe fruits balanced by lemony acidity to keep it light and refreshing. "springtime and sunshine in a bottle" -MM #rootscase

There’s something incredibly exciting about Northern Spanish white wines, and this Ribeiro with a blend of Albarino, Godello and Treixadura is no exception. It is a still wine with a medium yellow color. There are soft floral, stone fruit, and citrus scents on the nose reminiscent of white flowers, white peach, and lemon curd. The pallet is explosively clean with crisp green apple, ripe pear, and fresh peach followed by lemon zest and honey with a wet stone finish. Medium alcohol, medium plus body, and a very balanced acidic profile. Delightful wine on the pallet with good vibrancy, good texture, very round, very smooth; so easy to keep drinking, you just don't get tired of it. I’ve said this before; so cliche but so true: Northern Spanish whites are dead-on great value. Cheers.

May 27th, 2021A great white from the northern region of Galicia, native grape. Straw color with wet stone and lemon curd on the nose. Good texture, medium bodied with balance and vibrancy. So cliche but so true: a great northern Spanish white. Drink while young!

Reasonably priced table white. Dry, fruity - we love it with pasta at home.
