The wine region of Ribeira Sacra
Galician DO of heroic viticulture on the vertiginous slopes of the Miño and Sil canyons, terraces among Europe's steepest. Mencía signature Atlantic red: fine and fresh with signature notes of raspberry, sour cherry, violet, fresh herbs, black pepper and slate mineral touch, delicate tannins and lively acidity — drinkable and elegant, a world away from warm Spanish reds. Taut Godello and saline Albariño in whites. Atlantic climate, schistous soils.
The wine region of Galice
Oceanic northwest Spain, cradle of the great Iberian whites. Signature Albarino of Rias Baixas: lively, saline whites with signature notes of citrus, white peach, white flowers, fresh almond and iodine minerality, a taut palate — a perfect match for Atlantic seafood. Also premium Godello (pear, citrus, butter), aromatic Treixadura. Supple Mencia reds (raspberry, herbs, graphite).
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
