One of the most stunning white wines from Spain we've tried in the past few years, the 2008 Vina Leirina crackles with energy and flavor. A blend of Treixadura, Verdejo and Godello, this drinks like a Muscadet or Chablis - very crisp and mineral laced, but with a Spanish flair. Aromas of wet stones, green orchard fruits, white flowers and a touch of lime skin lead to a bright, vibrant, palate laced with mineral, lime, floral, and peach skin flavors. Fantastic with seafood of any kind, there's enough body and extract here to work as a refreshing sipper too.
"The 2008 Vina Leirinia is a blend of Treixadura, Albarino, and Godello fermented and aged in stainless steel. Medium straw-colored, it displays an expressive nose of mineral, melon, lemon zest, and spring flowers. On the palate it has vibrant acidity, excellent focus, and plenty of spicy fruit. Drink this balanced Ribeiro over the next 3-4 years. It is an outstanding value."Wine Advocate 91 points
