🍷 Alma Carraovejas – O Gran Meín Castes Brancas
Spain | Galicia | Ribeiro DO | Blend of Native White Varieties (primarily Treixadura, with Lado, Albariño, Godello, and others)
Style: Still White Wine
Winemaking: Hand-harvested from small, old-vine parcels, fermented with native yeasts in a mix of stainless steel, concrete, and oak vessels. Aged on lees for complexity and texture, reflecting a minimalist, terroir-focused approach
Farming: From steep, terraced vineyards in the Avia Valley of Ribeiro, cultivated sustainably and organically. Granitic soils and Atlantic influences shape wines of purity, energy, and subtle power

🌿 A soulful Galician white—textured, vibrant, and profoundly expressive.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with golden hues—bright and elegant.

👃 On the Nose:
Complex and aromatic. Fresh stone fruit, citrus zest, and white blossom meet hints of wild herbs, crushed granite, and subtle smoky undertones.

👅 On the Palate:
Structured and nuanced. Juicy orchard fruit and lemon oil mingle with mineral depth, herbal lift, and creamy lees texture. The finish is long, saline, and quietly powerful.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with marinated octopus, grilled shellfish, Galician empanadas, or soft cheeses. A white wine that pairs beautifully with delicate yet flavourful dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now for its vibrancy, or cellar 5–7 years to develop further complexity and roundness.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
O Gran Meín Castes Brancas is a stunning mosaic of Ribeiro’s native grapes—artfully blended and beautifully expressive. A wine of place, precision, and quiet sophistication.
