🌟 A masterful expression of Ribeiro — pure, layered, and deeply rooted in terroir.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with greenish reflections — bright, elegant, and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and complex, offering layers of white flowers, ripe pear, and citrus zest, accented by subtle hints of fresh herbs, stone fruit, and an unmistakable mineral streak reflecting its granite-rich sábrego soils.

👅 On the Palate:
Medium-bodied and precise, with a core of orchard fruits, lemon peel, and wild herbs, beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity and a textured, saline minerality. The finish is long, elegant, and refreshingly pure.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
A superb match for Galician-style octopus, grilled seabass, clams in white wine sauce, or soft cheeses — a wine that celebrates fresh, ocean-inspired dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now for its purity and freshness, with the potential to age gracefully over 5–7 years, developing more honeyed and nutty complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Emilio Rojo is an iconic Ribeiro white, beautifully reflecting the granite soils and Atlantic-influenced climate of the Avia Valley. Crafted with heritage and precision, it’s a vivid, terroir-driven wine that showcases the true soul of Galicia’s winemaking tradition.
