Terras Gauda 2019 Albarino Blend, O Rosal, Rias Baixas DO

Terras (Land) Gauda (Happiness) was founded in 1990 by the Fonseca family in the southern-most region of Rías Baixas, O Rosal.  Considered to be one of Rías Baixas’ most emblematic wineries, Terras Gauda routinely produces award-winning white wines made solely from estate-grown fruit. Many attribute the estate with being responsible for the advancement and development of the appellation as a whole, due to its sincere dedication to quality control and preserving the native grape varieties of Galicia.


This 2019 is a blend of 70% Albariño, 22% Caiño and 8% Loureiro. After a cold maceration the grapes fermented on natural native yeasts.


Wine & Spirits Magazine scored this 92 points saying "With close to 400 acres of vines in O Rosal, Terras Gauda focuses this blend on a selection of albariño (70 percent) blended with loureiro and caiño blanco. The dry and relatively cool summer of 2019 produced a zesty wine with flavors of sweet pear and brisk grapefruit. It smells like salt air and tastes like crab roe, with the kind of funky richness that will enliven a range of creatures from the sea."
