Region: Ribeiro, Spain

Varietal: 90% Treixadura, 5% Godello, and 5% Albariño.

Tasting notes: Ripe and expressive, this silky white is trimmed by a lightly mouthwatering acidity that buoys the range of pineapple and nectarine fruit, honey and pink grapefruit sorbet flavors. Pretty chamomile and spice play on the clean-cut finish. Treixadura, Godello and Albariño.’

Producer: Casal de Armán was founded in the late 1990's by the González family, who had been making Ribeiro wines since 19th century. The property is an 18th century court, located in San Andres, Ribadavia Ourense in Northwest Spain, Galicia.

Vineyard and Winemaking: Casal de Armán covers almost 50 acres of vineyards located within the Ribeiro de Avia region. The Avia's river banks support the winery's terraces ranging from 650 feet above sea level to almost 1,200 feet above sea level. The vineyards are dedicated to cultivating indigenous varitals such as white Treixadura, Godelli, Loureira, Brenecellao, Caiño and Sousón. The grapes are handpicked and 100% of their wines are estate wines. Felicísimo Pereira, the new Ribeiro Appellation's president, is the winemaker at Casal de Armán.
