Introduction:
The 2022 Pazo de Toubes Modus Vivendi Ribeiro Blanco is a vibrant and expressive white wine that captures the essence of Galicia’s ancient Ribeiro region. Crafted from indigenous grape varieties, this wine balances crisp acidity, rich texture, and striking minerality, making it a fantastic reflection of its terroir.

Terrior:
Grown in the rolling hills of Ribeiro in northwestern Spain, the vineyards are planted on granite and schist soils that contribute to the wine’s distinct minerality. The Atlantic-influenced climate, with mild temperatures and abundant rainfall, preserves freshness and aromatic intensity while allowing for slow, even ripening.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with bright green reflections, indicating freshness and vibrancy.

Nose:
Aromatic and inviting, with notes of ripe citrus, green apple, and white peach, layered with delicate floral hints of orange blossom and a touch of wet stone minerality. Subtle herbal nuances add complexity.

Palate:
Medium-bodied with a silky, well-rounded mouthfeel. Crisp acidity enhances flavors of lemon zest, pear, and apricot, while a slight saline edge and mineral-driven core provide depth and structure. The balance between fruit intensity and freshness makes this wine both lively and refined.

Finish:
Long and refreshing, with lingering citrus, a touch of almond, and a clean, mineral-driven aftertaste.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully balanced and terroir-driven Ribeiro Blanco that offers both freshness and complexity. Ideal for pairing with seafood, Galician-style octopus, grilled vegetables, or creamy cheeses. Best enjoyed young to appreciate its vibrant character, but it also has the structure to evolve over a few years.
