The Coto de Gomariz, at the eastern edge of Galicia, overlooks the Avia River where schistose, granitic and sandy soils, steep slopes, and tiny yields make for an ideal spot to growing indigenous white and red varieties. The Coto de Gomariz’s Dende O Seculo X bottling blends Treixadura (80%), Godello, Loureira, and Albarino to craft a stunning Ribero blanco. The wine opens with a lemon oil color followed by salt-infused aromas of pineapple, nectarine, and honeysuckle blossoms. Dry and bristling with acidity, the 2016 Dende O Seculo X offers intense expressions of lime zest, tangerine, green melon, bay leaf, and salty minerals. Zesty and incisive, the wine finishes with complex notes of quince, ginger, and quinine. Pair this delicious, versatile, biodynamic beauty now and over the next two years with grilled octopus, potato tapas, broiled swordfish, and albacore tuna. Another sensational wine from Galicia!
