ntroduction
The 2023 Viña Costeira Treixadura from Ribeiro, Galicia, showcases the finesse and aromatic complexity of Treixadura, a native varietal celebrated in Spain’s Ribeiro region. Crafted by Viña Costeira, a producer with a legacy of focusing on Galicia’s indigenous grapes, this wine highlights the freshness and mineral character unique to the region’s Atlantic-influenced terroir.

Terrior
Ribeiro’s cool, maritime climate and diverse soils, primarily granite with pockets of slate and clay, are ideal for growing Treixadura. The Atlantic breezes and cool nights retain the grape’s natural acidity, while the mineral-rich soils impart a subtle salinity and minerality, enhancing the complexity of the wine.

Appearance
Pale straw with a slight green tint, bright and clear, indicative of its youthful freshness.

Nose
The nose is aromatic and inviting, with notes of green apple, white peach, and lemon zest. Delicate floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom combine with a subtle stony minerality, capturing the essence of Ribeiro.

Palate
The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, lively acidity. Flavors of ripe citrus, apricot, and pear are balanced by a gentle mineral backbone. A touch of almond and herbaceous nuances add depth, while the texture is smooth and slightly rounded, showing the wine’s well-integrated acidity and regional character.

Finish
The finish is crisp and lingering, with notes of citrus and a refreshing, mineral-driven salinity that leaves a clean, mouthwatering impression.

Overall Impression
The 2023 Viña Costeira Treixadura is a vibrant and beautifully balanced white wine that embodies the character of Galicia’s Ribeiro region. Its fresh acidity and mineral depth make it ideal with seafood, light poultry dishes, or soft cheeses, and it is equally appealing as an aperitif.
