Availability: In stock
Made by bodega El Paraguas, a small-batch winery from DO Ribeiro, the white wine La Sombrilla is made mostly from Treixadura, Ribeiro's principal grape variety, nuanced by a droplet of Albariño (4%).
This Spanish white wine is sourced from a single vineyard with clay-granite soils, called A Castiñeira. The 2-hectare plot was planted in 1997 near the village of Ribadavia, between 214 and 272 metres of altitude. The area has an Atlantic climate with a Continental influence.
After a meticulous harvest, 60% of the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks. The other 40% went through the process in 600-litre Burgundian oak barrels, where this white wine from Ribeiro was then aged for 6 months on lees. The meticulous winemaking process was closely monitored by prestigious Galician winemaker Felicísimo Pita.
The white wine La Sombrilla 2023 was bottled in April 2025.

| Appearance | The white wine La Sombrilla is medium straw with some amberish reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Complex and refined, this wine from Treixadura and Albariño showcases citrus honey, ripe pear, salted butter and fine lees, with some vainilla and cedar undertones and a dash of balsam and flowers. |
| Palate | Clean, textured and precise, with a noticeable mineral edge to the bone and white fruit, a steely acidity, Atlantic freshness and a slowly unfurling complexity. This wine from bodega El Paraguas ends with a spicy and smokey note. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine La Sombrilla 2023 is a distinguished Ribeiro white wine that should develop nicely in the bottle over the next years. |
