Terras Gauda Magnum
1.5L • The Splendor of O Rosal
"The magnitude of the Atlantic: a masterful blend that, in its Magnum format, breathes and evolves with superior nobility and longevity."
Complexity in Large Format
The Terras Gauda Magnum is much more than double the content; it's an elevated tasting experience. This iconic blend of Albariño, Loureiro, and Caíño Blanco finds the perfect environment to mature in the 1.5-liter format. The lower proportion of oxygen relative to the liquid's volume allows the citrus and mineral notes to remain vibrant, while prolonged contact with its lees develops a silkiness unattainable in the standard format.

Appearance: Intense straw yellow with bright greenish reflections. Greater density and glycerin perceived in the glass.
Nose: Aromatic explosion dominated by ripe white fruit (pear, peach), intertwined with citrus notes of grapefruit, a hint of laurel, and a very marked Atlantic salinity.
Palate: Broad, powerful, and enveloping entry. The texture is remarkably silky, balanced by vibrant acidity that stretches the wine to a long, fruity, and persistent finish.
