Terras Gauda
Rías Baixas • O Rosal
"The ultimate expression of O Rosal: an emblematic white that harmonizes the structure of Albariño with the intensity of Loureiro and the unique freshness of Caíño Blanco."
The Master of Galician Blends
Terras Gauda White Wine is the undisputed benchmark of the O Rosal subzone in the D.O. Rías Baixas. Its prestige lies in a pioneering blend that breaks away from single-varietal dominance to seek technical perfection. Albariño provides body and fruitiness; Loureiro offers an extraordinary floral range, and the rare Caíño Blanco injects a freshness and acidic structure that makes it unforgettable and long-lasting.

Appearance: Very bright straw yellow, with clean greenish glints indicating its youth and freshness.
Nose: Great complexity and intensity. Aromas of ripe peach, mandarin, and orange peel stand out, intertwined with floral notes of orange blossom and a noble herbaceous background of laurel and mint.
Palate: Impresses with its character and volume. It is an expansive, silky, and fleshy wine, where the acidity is perfectly integrated. The finish is long, distinctly fruity, and with a subtle mineral persistence.
