Wines Rías Baixas Terras De Lantaño - 2023

Viniou Reviews

The 2023 Terras De Lantaño hails from the renowned Rías Baixas DO in Galicia, Spain. This esteemed region is famous for producing exceptional white wines, particularly from the Albariño grape variety, which is likely the main component of this wine. The 2023 vintage promises to uphold this tradition with its fresh and aromatic profile, characteristic of Galician whites. The terroir of Rías Baixas, shaped by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, contributes salinity and minerality to the wines, while the granitic and schist soils impart unique flavours. The moderate, damp climate with cooling sea breezes ensures a long, slow ripening process, preserving the vibrant acidity and fruity aromas typical of this region.

Galicia's winemaking heritage dates back centuries, with Rías Baixas gaining DO status in 1988, which has since elevated its international reputation. The region's rolling hills and lush landscapes are a testament to its rich viticultural history, where ancient traditions meet modern techniques to produce wines of remarkable balance and complexity.

This 2023 Terras De Lantaño pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. Its bright acidity and pronounced aromatic profile make it an ideal match with seafood, particularly Galician seafood delicacies such as pulpo a la gallega (Galician-style octopus) or mariscada (shellfish platter). The freshness of the wine also complements lightly grilled white fish, zesty ceviche, or even sushi. Additionally, it can be paired with summer salads featuring citrus or tropical fruit components to enhance its lively fruit notes.

To truly appreciate Terras De Lantaño, serve it chilled at a temperature of 8-10°C. This allows the wine's delicate aromas of citrus fruits, peaches, and floral notes to open up, offering a refreshing and harmonious tasting experience that captures the essence of its Galician origins.
