Terras Gauda O Rosal 2025

Vintage description:
The 2023 wine year was marked by extraordinary climatic conditions. A later budburst than usual brought us back to a normal timeline. With a rainy spring, which recorded 10% more precipitation than average, and high humidity combined with cooler temperatures, the vegetation period was challenging. During the summer, high humidity and precipitation continued, raising concerns about the difficult development of the grapes.

Fortunately, the final phase of summer, which is crucial for ripening, brought warm and dry conditions. Significant temperature fluctuations between day and night ensured a perfect balance between freshness, acidity, and the ripeness of the grapes. The result: balanced musts and complex, vibrant wines with impressive structure.

Winemaking:
The grapes underwent cold maceration for varying lengths of time before fermentation, which was carried out with natural yeasts from the vineyard. After the necessary settling period, the wine was stabilized and bottled.

Sensory profile:
Terras Gauda O Rosal presents an extraordinary variety of aromas. On the nose, notes of ripe peaches, tangerines, and orange zest unfold, complemented by mineral, floral, and creamy nuances, as well as subtle hints of mint.

On the palate, the wine shows its characteristic opulence – full-bodied, fleshy, yet fresh and vibrant. The finish is long and intense, marked by mineral and fruity sensations. The combination of complexity and lightness makes this wine a unique pleasure.

Viticulture:

Albariño & Caiño: Harvested in lower-lying areas with higher humidity and warmer conditions, which enhances the concentration and body of the wines.

Loureiro: Comes from higher, cooler plots. The slow ripening gives it vibrant aromas and gentle elegance.

Serving suggestions:

Perfect with seafood such as oysters, mussels, and crabs. Harmonizes excellently with Asian cuisine as well as light meat and rice dishes.

A white wine of impressive complexity and versatility that masterfully embodies the uniqueness of the Rías Baixas region.
