OVERVIEW
Still one of the wine world's best kept secrets, top notch Albariño can still be enjoyed for £20 and in the hands of premier producer Bodegas Terras Gauda, their 'O Rosal' is consistently rated as one of the very best wines made from the Albariño grape anywhere in the world. The O Rosal is a blend of 70% Albarino, 20% Loureira and 10% Caino Blanco.
From the home of Albariño in the Rias Baixes region of North Western Spain, this refreshing yet saline wine is unbeatable paired with all kinds of seafood dishes especially the classic, Pulpo a la Gallega.
CRITIC REVIEWS
Medium yellow in the glass, this wine has aromas of guava and salted almond. Bright on entry, it offers flavors of pineapple, grapefruit and white currant and a lemon rind finish. 91 Points Wine Enthusiast
FOOD PAIRING INSPIRATION
If you're in Santiago de Compostella you'll see pilgrims and tourists alike washing down delicious local speciality Pulpo a la Gallega with litres of local Albarino. For a warm summer's evening there could be no better combination in this part of North Western Spain. However, this wine will pair well with any type of seafood.
VINTAGE AND WINEMAKING
2022 saw a later bud burst than more recent vintages and a wetter year than average for the growing season. The whole cycle up until summer was cool and wet but a hot and dry summer ripened the grapes which benefit from good, fresh acidity. The '21 vintage is well balanced, harmonious and with good structure and acidity.
