Product Description
Details

Produced by Adega O Cotarelo, a small production winery from DO Ribeiro, Galicia, the wine O Cotarelo Blanco is made solely from native grape varieties.

A blend of TreixaduraAlbariñoGodello and Loureira, the grapes are sourced from old, low-yielding vineyards situated in O Barral, on the banks of Miño river, in the province of Ourense. After having been abandoned for several years, the vines were put back into grape production by winemaker Benigno Ríos, who is also the owner of the winery.

Each variety was separately vinified. This Spanish white wine was first fermented in stainless steel tanks and subsequently blended.

After that, the wine O Cotarelo Blanco 2023 was aged for a short period in the tanks before its bottling.

Gentle, smooth and fruit-driven, this white wine from Ribeiro will pair excellently with shrimp and fish recipes.

Nose

This blend of Treixadura, Albariño, Godello and Loureira is intese and well-defined. Ripe white fruit, with hints of citrus, menthol and some flowers and herbs.

Palate

Yummy and light-hearted, with good balance and a fresh acidity. This wine of bodega O Cotarelo carries flavours of bone fruit and ripe white fruit up to a long finish.

Our personal opinion

The small-production white wine O Cotarelo Blanco 2023 is totally indigenous and totally smashable.

Young white wine, but already showing some interesting complexity. Galician whites always deliver!
