MEÍN WHITE WINE 2023 750 ML
BODEGA VIÑA MEÍN • D.O. RIBEIRO
SPAIN • AVIA VALLEY, GALICIA • WHITE WINE AGED ON LEES (DRY)
"The liveliest, freshest, and most Atlantic expression of the historic landscape of the Avia Valley. Meín White Wine 2023 is the emblematic label of Viña Meín (part of the renowned Alma Carraovejas group). A blend dominated by the Treixadura grape accompanied by native Galician varieties, cultivated on granite slopes. Strictly dry in profile, it stands out for its aromas of fresh white fruit, wild flowers, balsamic touches, and a smooth palate with brilliant acidity and a marked saline character."
Atlantic Freshness and Tradition of Granite Flavors
Meín White Wine 2023 750 ml reflects the richness of the historic small plots and terraces (socalcos) of San Clodio and Leiro, in the heart of the Avia Valley. Produced by the prestigious winery Viña Meín under the Alma Carraovejas label, this wine harmonizes the main grape variety Treixadura with small percentages of Albariño, Godello, Torrontés, Loureira, and Lado. The winemaking combines fermentation by plots with indigenous yeasts in oak vats, stainless steel, and foudres, followed by aging on lees. The result is a dry white wine, complex, agile, and deeply expressive of the granite soil ("sabrego").
