Cigales has been a grape growing area for centuries but in recent times production has been on the decline, and winery was bought in the late 1990’s by the El Coto group. Grapes from low yielding 100% Tempranillo vines, in excess of 70 years old. Aged for 24 months in 3-year old French oak, deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas and gentle spice. On the palate blackberry and blueberry flavors and leather and licorice notes, smooth tannins on a lingering finish ending with oak and mineral tones. — 7 years ago
Great example of Treixadura made by Xose Luis (also of Coto de Gomariz). Melon and white flowers, round/full, yet refreshing. — 8 years ago

These are the kind of wines that Spain is showing to the World... A 100% Souson from Rías Baixas, the power of galician reds... — 9 years ago
Lemon peel vapours with white flowers on the nose. Front of mouth is diaphanous white flower and delicate lemon. It transitions to an equally subtle white peach with a good seam/backbone of lemon rind to earth the finish with a decent length. — 10 years ago
Smooth, full bodied - excellent on its own — 11 years ago
A few years ago Spanish wine was a total bargain. Then they figured out they could send us junk. I stopped buying. But in desperation recently I got this and was surprised. Really pretty good and both varietals are very present. Even better after a day, showing some interesting depth. Maybe cheapie Spanish wines are back to being bargains. — 6 years ago

#refreshing #vinhoverde #loureiro @quintadegomariz #gomariz #citrus lime notes a little effervescent. So easy to drink and when you open a bottle at a party, picnic or barbecue it disappears and everyone loves it. Great spring and #summersipper — 9 years ago

Dark fruits up front. Some earth. Falls a little short on the finish, just a tad too quick. But a very nice wine. Like it plenty, but a little pricey. — 10 years ago
