Production: Elaborated from a combination of the native varieties; the legendary Albariño (approximately 70%) with those of the singular Loureira and Caiño Blanco. The albariño grapes are selected from the plots  at Eiras-Bostelo, the lowest situated vineyard, with high humidity, south facing and warmer temperatures, producing and albariño based wine that is highly concentrated, less acidity and has more body. Terras Gauda is the flagship wine of the winery, and a notably consistent wine, showing the benefits of a wise blend of autochthonous grape varieties.

Terras Gauda winery was founded in 1990, being now a fair size operation by regional standards. Both the winery and its 70ha. of own vineyards are located at an altitude of 50 – 150 metres above sea level, in a privileged landscape in the O’Rosal Valley, close to the mouth of the river Miño in the A Guarda Area, just across from its neighbouring Portugal.  The vineyards enjoy an exceptional microclimate characterised by mild temperatures, very little frost and abundant rain fall.   www.terrasgauda.com

Tasting Notes:  It shows a powerful, quite complex nose with aromas of white fruits, subtle floral notes and mineral hint. Personally-filled, structured with a smooth and creamy palate, bright acidity and good length.

Notes: Best enjoyed  over the next 2 – 3 years.
