Tasting Note

Bright yellow straw colour and a dense appearance, which makes it very attractive. The aroma is particularly expressive, with hints of aniseed, stone fruits like apricot, tropical notes of passion fruit, and a touch of citrus. Over time, the Treixadura grape may contribute waxy notes. On the palate, it has a strong initial impression that gradually becomes softer and rounder, leading to a long and vibrant aftertaste.

Product Notes

Adega Algueira Finca Cortezada Ribeira Sacra is an elegant Spanish wine, the epitome of opulence distilled in a bottle. It hails from the Ribeira Sacra, a famed wine region framed by rolling hills and the river Sil's winding path. Known for its perfect blend of Mencia, Brancellao, and Merenzao grapes, it captures a flavour profile that is ripe with a palate of blueberries and spice. This wine showcases an earthy depth, complemented by floral notes and a hint of minerality. Its splendid balance between acidity and fruitiness, coupled with a velvety finish, makes it a delightful companion to any meal.
