Fento Wines Plurivarietal Rias Baixas 2017
Rías Baixas, Galicia, SpainOne of winemaker Eulogio Pomares' many projects (most notably, Zarate), this is a blend of albariño, loureiro, treixadura, torontés, and godello, from the mountainous, inland, granite and slate soiled Rias Baixas subregion Condado do Tea. “Tea County” is named after the river Tea, a tributary of the Miño. Fento is Galician for fern, hence the label. These 10-15 year old vines were fermented and rested in stainless, yielding juicy yellow fruits, quince, white peach blossoms and tight, fine spicing. Volumnous in the mouth, despite its 12.5 degrees. Ample interest and intensity to take on grilled halibut or spot prawns.Tasted: 09 August 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $26.95 | 750ml | consignment |
