ABADÍA DE SAN CAMPIO
ALBARIÑO D.O. RÍAS BAIXAS
GALICIA • SPAIN
"The essence of the Atlantic in every glass: piercing freshness, crystal-clear fruit, and the noble character of O Rosal."
Varietal Purity and Atlantic Elegance
Abadía de San Campio is Bodegas Terras Gauda's tribute to the Albariño variety. Sourced from vineyards located in the O Rosal subzone, at the mouth of the Miño River, this wine benefits from an exceptional microclimate that guarantees optimal ripening. Following a meticulous manual harvest, the wine rests on its lees to gain creaminess, resulting in a white wine that is pure joy: vibrant, full of citrus nuances, and with a minerality reminiscent of the Galician sea breeze.
