Terras Gauda
Rías Baixas • O Rosal
"The ultimate expression of O Rosal: an emblematic white wine 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 sub-region in the Rías Baixas D.O. Its prestige lies in a pioneering blend that breaks with the hegemony of single-varietal wines in pursuit of technical perfection. Albariño provides body and fruitiness; Loureiro offers an extraordinary floral array, and the rare Caíño Blanco injects a freshness and acidic structure that makes it unforgettable and long-lived.

Appearance: Very bright straw yellow, with clean greenish glints indicating its youth and freshness.
Nose: Great complexity and intensity. Aromas of ripe peach, tangerine, 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 a broad, silky, and fleshy wine, where the acidity is perfectly integrated. The finish is long, distinctly fruity, with a subtle mineral persistence.
