Description
In the heart of O Rosal, in the Rías Baixas DO, where the hillsides slope down to almost touch the Miño and the Atlantic Ocean caresses the vines with its mist, one of Terras Gauda's most determined and complex wines is born: Terras Gauda Etiqueta Negra. This cuvée is not a whim, but the result of an uncompromising philosophy, born of an obsession to capture the deepest character of the Galician terroir. The winery's technical team took a bold decision: to select only the lowest altitude plots -the most humid and warmest- to bring forward the harvest and obtain grapes with exceptional phenolic maturity and aromatic richness. In a campaign marked by abundant rain and cool nights, the natural freshness and balance in the musts was astonishing.
Terras Gauda Etiqueta Negra brings together a fascinating blend: 70% Albariño, 23% Caiño Blanco and 7% Loureiro. The Albariño adds volume and precise florality, the Loureiro exhales exotic fruit and balsamic notes, while the Caiño - the most unique variety in the blend - lends structure, tension and that character that is as rare as it is addictive.
Winemaking
There is no rush, no repeated formulas. Each variety that makes up Terras Gauda Etiqueta Negra is vinified separately, fermenting in foudres and French oak barrels -of one and two uses-, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. Then begins an ageing process on lees that is almost a ritual: three weekly bâtonnages during the first months, and then a silent rest that lasts between six and seven months. Nothing is left to chance: the contact with the wood is finely measured so as not to mask, but to enhance the Atlantic soul of the wine.
Taste
On the palate, Terras Gauda Etiqueta Negra unfolds with elegant energy and restrained weight. The entry is vibrant, marked by ripe peach and the subtle sweetness of quince, which soon gives way to echoes of mandarin peel and manzanilla flower. The French oak appears delicately: aromas of crème brûlée, fine vanilla and a faint smokiness that barely touches the whole without stealing the limelight. The wine progresses with saline tension and ends in a long finish, where mineral notes and a background of toasted bread and nuts reveal its slow ageing. The structure of the Caiño feels like the backbone of this symphony, elevating its complexity without ever breaking the balance.
A white wine from Rías Baixas with the soul of a red. Dense, vertical, deep. Only for those who seek authenticity, minerality and character without embellishment.
