O Estranxeiro Ribeira Sacra Branco 2023 is a vibrant and expressive white wine that reflects the unique terroir of the Ribeira Sacra DO in Galicia, Spain. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, interwoven with floral notes of white blossoms and hints of green apple. The palate is fresh and well-balanced, with a crisp acidity that gives way to a mineral backbone, reminiscent of wet stones and salinity, characteristic of the region's steep slopes. Subtle touches of honey and stone fruit appear on the finish, leaving a lingering, refreshing impression.

Winery

Quinta do Estranxeiro is Eulogio Pomares and Rebeca Montero's Ribeira Sacra project, launched after Pomares had already become a key figure at his family's Rias Baixas estate, Zarate. In the steep Galician canyons of the Mino and Sil rivers, they work old, bush-trained Mencia and white varieties such as Godello, farming organically despite the region's humid Atlantic pressure. The wines are fermented with native yeasts and aged in concrete, chestnut or large Italian botti, depending on the cuvee. The project captures Ribeira Sacra's drama without exaggeration: granite, slate, herbs, red fruit and a clear mountain-river freshness.
