Viniou Reviews
The Maruxa 2022 is a white wine hailing from the Valdeorras appellation in Galicia, Spain. Known for producing vibrant and expressive wines, this region benefits from its unique climate and terroir. Galicia's cool, Atlantic-influenced climate, coupled with its mineral-rich soils, creates the perfect environment for producing crisp, aromatic whites. The Maruxa vineyard has a long-standing reputation for crafting wines that exemplify the traditional winemaking techniques of the area, combining modern methods to enhance its natural characteristics.
For pairing, this crisp and refreshing white wine goes beautifully with seafood dishes, a hallmark of the Galician cuisine. Think of pairing it with grilled octopus or clams in a white wine sauce to bring out the wine’s zesty flavours. Additionally, it would complement a light cheese platter or a Mediterranean salad with citrus vinaigrette.
When serving Maruxa 2022, aim for a temperature between 8-10°C to best preserve its delicate aromas. It is recommended to let it breathe for about 15 minutes in a glass rather than a carafe to preserve its freshness. Begin by observing its clear, pale colour; then swirl gently to release its aromatic profile, which typically includes hints of green apple and citrus zest. Finally, take a sip to appreciate its vibrant acidity and mineral finish.
