The Flower and the Bee Blanco
€18.99
A white from the north-western corner of Spain and the region of Ribeiro in Galicia. Ribeiro may not be as famous as R¡as Baixas next door, but there are some cracking wines emanating from there. The local Treixadura (also found over the border in Vinho Verde) is here made in a honeyed and mealy style, with creamy richness over apples and minerals. On the palate it has that tang of sour lemon that is so evocative, a very grown up bite of endive, but the ripe core of fruit and full body also carries a little spice into the finish.

Grapes are sourced from 27 hectares of vines planted on terraces (socalcos) and
smooth slopes near the village of Gomariz. Soils are mostly sandy and granitic
and vineyard altitude is 150 to 300 metres above sea level. A unique
microclimate created by the Avia river causes summers to be hotter than usual in
Galicia, and winters to be mild and humid.
