"Fresh white flowers, lime zest and lemon icing sing from the glass. As it opens up and you start to appreciate the delicate red apple and yellow peach notes. Talk about value for money!"

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Quinta de Couselo

Quinta de Couselo have hailed from the 'O Rosal' valley of the Rias Baixas region in the Galicia area of North-Western Spain since 1135. The area where the vineyards are now planted was looked after by the monks of the region for over 7 centuries. It is now in the highly capable hands of the winemaking group: Grandes Pagos Gallegos de Viticultura Tradicional.  

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Albarino

Albarino makes white wines that are crisp and refreshing with fantastic aromas of green and white fruits. Whilst it is probably best known from producing white wines in Galicia, particularly in the sub-region of Rias Baixas, it also features throughout Portugal and across the new world.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Rias Baixas

Rias Baixas is a region in Galicia in northwestern Spain. It is a lot cooler than the majority of Spain so is perfect for white grape varieties. The leading grape variety is Albariño though Loureira and Godello are important too. The fair majority of the wines are made exclusively from Albariño making wines that are crisp with acidity and aromatics that centre around citrus and stone-fruits.
