"A greenish-yellow in color, this wine has a generous nose of ripe peach, aromatic herbs, bay leaf, and mint hints, orange blossom and mandarin, and orange peel; the mouth is round with hints of minerality and earthy memories. It finishes crisp and mineral revealing its stunning structure, density and balance in acidity."

 

--------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 Albarino though Loureira and Godello are important too. The fair majority of the wines are made exclusively from Albarino making wines that are crisp with acidity and aromatics that centre around citrus and stone-fruits.
