Ribeira Sacra White, O Estranxeiro - 2021

Item # 50224 750 mL

A mineral-driven white wine made mostly of Godello. This comes from the dramatic slopes of the Ribeira Sacra where tiny plots of local grapes cling to the terrain. The fruit is hand-picked, fermented with native yeasts in tank. Aromas of lemongrass, quince and chamomile on the palate. A white you could pair with cod fritters or sushi.

Albariño

The primary grape of the Rías Baixas (Lower Inlets) section of the Galicia region of northwestern Spain, Albariño is considered by many to be Spain's premier white wine.
