-Vinous Media, June '21 gave 93 points to 2017 Finca Os Loureiros.  “Light, bright yellow. Intense pear, nectarine, orange pith and sweet butter aromas display fine clarity and a building floral topnote. Palate-staining orchard and pit fruit and honeysuckle flavors show a silky quality and tighten up on the back half. Concentrated but energetic as well, delivering impressive, floral-driven persistence and lingering stoniness.”

 

The Producer

Casal de Armán was founded in the late 1990's by the González family, who had been making Ribeiro wines since 19th century. The property is an 18th century court, located in San Andres, Ribadavia Ourense in Northwest Spain, Galicia. 

Casal de Armán covers almost 50 acres of vineyards loacted within the Ribeiro de Avia region. The Avia's river banks support the winery's terraces ranging from 650 feet above sea level to almost 1,200 feet above sea level. The vienyards are dedicated to cultivating indigenous varitals such as white treixadura, Godelli, loureira, Brenecellao, Caiño and Sousón. The grapes are handpicked and 100% of their wines are estate wines. Felicísimo Pereira, the new Ribeiro Appellation's president, is the winemaker at Casal de Armán.
