Product Description
Details
Produced by Adega O Cotarelo, a small production winery from DO Ribeiro, Galicia, the wine O Cotarelo Blanco is made solely from native grape varieties.
A blend of Treixadura, Albariño, Godello and Loureira, the grapes are sourced from old, low-yielding vineyards situated in O Barral, on the banks of Miño river, in the province of Ourense. After having been abandoned for several years, the vines were put back into grape production by winemaker Benigno Ríos, who is also the owner of the winery.
Each variety was separately vinified. This Spanish white wine was first fermented in stainless steel tanks and subsequently blended.
After that, the wine O Cotarelo Blanco 2023 was aged for a short period in the tanks before its bottling.
Gentle, smooth and fruit-driven, this white wine from Ribeiro will pair excellently with shrimp and fish recipes.

Young white wine, but already showing some interesting complexity. Galician whites always deliver!
