#terras gauda

I'm surprised they were even open on a Sunday (apparently they're one of the very few (perhaps only, according to the one employee there) wineries in the area that do this).  The patient woman working the small tasting area gave us the rundown on their other wines, two of which I'd never encountered before. 

The La Mar was unavailable for sampling because its production was extremely limited, which naturally piqued our interest and lead us to purchase several bottles of it.  The Abadía is the only one that is wholly Albariño, as the others are made up of 70 and 10 percent, mixed with other regional grapes varietals.  Having said that, I quite liked the Abadía de San Campio because it seemed to taste crisper and cleaner  than the others (in my view, which really doesn't account for much, as my palate is a drunken whore on percocet at a frat party when it comes to white wine). 

The last selection she let us try was a rosé of which I wasn't particularly fond, but A loved it and, of course, he proceeded to buy several bottles.  It's called Tres Obispos and is manufactured by a subsidiary bodega of the Terras Gauda group called Pittacum, located in León.
