Bodegas Terras Gauda, La Mar, Rías Baixas, Galicia, 2018

Tasted by: Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW
(at Brussels, 30 Jul 2020)
Drinking Window: 2020 - 2024
A speciality of this winery, made with the unique Caíño Branco variety. Quite herbaceous, with hints of green curry and rosemary, it is very distinctive and difficult to identify as Rías Baixas. On the palate it is tight, balanced and lightly saline, displaying a finish with that bit of electricity that defines minerality so well. A very interesting proposal, so Galician and so particular.
