This is a fun wine from Ribero. Not a lot of details available, but it looks and taste like it has a high percentage of Treixadura with maybe some Godello mixed in for good measure. The label is a bit of a dog’s breakfast tho. Anyway, it’s cheap, fun and cold which is what I need after three 43 degree days here in Melbourne. It looks like it won’t get under 30 for the next week, so I’m looking forward to landing in Krakow on the way to Spain… -3 at lunchtime sounds great right now.
A fresh and herby nose of lemon and lime, freshly cut leafy herbs, a touch of fennel bulb and old candle wax. Easy to drink, with a good mix of waxy texture and flowing acid. More lemon and lime in the mouth, candied lemon peel and artichoke note. I like this, not a super wine just a good one on a hot day. 87 Pts.

hi dave
counting your sleeps by now already packed? anyway this great little wine is 80%treixadura and 20% torrontes as you said great for this time of the year
Torrontes eh, I thought it was only grown in Argentina?
Yep, only a week to go. Looking forward to some cold weather…

Spanish Torrontes (Albillo Mayor) is a different grape from the three types of Argentinean Torrontes.
I just found some of this in a Sydney wine store. Finding any info about is almost impossible. Drinks ok thou.
