(aged for 11 months in 600-liter French oak casks, one-third of them new): Brilliant yellow-gold. Potent, mineral-laced citrus and orchard fruits on the intensely perfumed nose. Dry, sharply focused and concentrated, with intense Meyer lemon and pear skin flavors underscored by notes of iodine and fennel. Shows outstanding clarity and thrust on the mineral-dominated finish, which hangs on with outstanding tenacity. (Vinous)

Region: Galicia

Galicia, in northern Spain, was once a prosperous and highly popular wine producing region. Despite the strong influence and often bad weather brought by the Atlantic Ocean, the vintners of Galicia knew how to make the most of the grape varietals which thrived in their vineyards, and were renowned for producing excellent, characterful wines full of flavor and beautiful aromatic qualities. However, the economic collapse which occurred in Galicia in the 19th century all but destroyed the region's wine industry and reputation, and it looked as though the region would never recover. Thankfully for lovers of Spanish wines, plenty of money and effort was spent in rebuilding the Galician wine industry over the past few decades, and today, more and more wineries are once again making their distinctive single variety and blended white and red wines, and finding new fans across the globe.
