Description
An interesting blend using Treixadura (the main grape of the Ribeiro region – adjacent to Rias Baixas in the far north west of Spain) plus Torrontes and Palomino.
Pazo do Mar’s Ribeiro winery was opened in 2002 as the result of a family involvement in wine making spanning more than 30 years. Respecting and adoring secular Ribeiro traditions but with an innovative and modern view of the future they search of the perfect balance between traditional and modern production processes giving their wines the freshness and personality that the contemporary customer demands.
In a tasting of Spanish whites from the north west, Decanter’s tasting commented “… Galician whites must surely be among the best performers across all price points. It is interesting to note that three of the wines awarded 90 points are under £15 (rrp)… there is still value to be found.” This is one of them.
Tasting Notes: Light and delicate with hints of floral notes and citrus in the bouquet and palate.
Food pairing suggestions: seafood, tapas, fish & chips, summer salads
