Terras Gauda Albarino O Rosal 2022

Wine Spectator, 91 pts

A linear white, with good drive and focus to flavors of Mandarin orange, wild strawberry, grated ginger and fresh tarragon. Though svelte in form, there's a light, pleasing plushness to texture, working well with the mouthwatering acidity and briny base note. Albariño, Caiño and Loureiro. Drink now through 2028.
