Newest encounter with this Ribera Sacra red. Tasted like a Loire in blind tasting especially given its funkiness, but it’s more complex & layered if you take your time & let it settle down. Blackberries, a bit of fermented apple cider, & wild raspberries- the tiny ones. I can drink this all day. — 3 years ago

This is a pretty cool take on non-sherry Palomino. It’s a little salty like fino but doesn’t have the flor notes obviously. — 5 years ago

Fantastic wine. Normally I don't enjoy blends as much, but this wine has really found a good balance. I find a very subtle apple aroma. Then, in and out acidic on the tongue with a citrus finish, a hint of body in the background but not too heavy. Keeps it refreshing but still interesting with no lingering aftertaste, just a slow dissipating citrus. Great mix of triexadura, albarino & godello grapes — a year ago

Wine with roasted whole chicken part 2: I used to adore Ribera Sacra, & then moved away with the inevitable rise in price & trend towards more modern styles. Not this. A short decant (45-60) to take the wind out of the Brett sails, & we were off: dense, brambly black fruits on nose & palate, with a distant barn door left open on the nose. Medium plus acidity. It’s the length though that impressed me, along with a freshness (at 13%). Evolves in glass, as if the fruit still has layers. Like a really good chinon. At about 28$, a high end QPR. Eric Solomon imp, interestingly enough. — 4 years ago

Från riktigt gamla godello-stockar (upp till 90 år) i en karg biodynamisk vingård i Valdeorras subregion Val do Bibei, nära Ribeira Sacra. Burgundisk känsla men med en egen unik smak. Grym koncentration och komplexitet. Sjungande mineralkänsla, citronolja, marsipan, vinteräpple, mynta, anis m.m. Avslutet är evighetslångt. Mkt välgjort vin för pengarna här. — 6 years ago

Frutos negros en sabor y olor. Regusto sabor higo y arándanos. Delicioso, solo eso sí, si no te agradan los vinos salados, este no es tu vino. Los vinos de la Ribera del Guadiana me recuerdan mi visita a Cáceres, la patria de Hernán Cortés, muy ácidos, ideal en un corte como Sirlon o Arrachera. Los vinos europeos no suelen ser tan salados, como los de México o Sudamérica pero éste es riquísimo.


Black fruits in flavor and smell. Incredible taste flavor figs and blueberries. Delicious, only that if you do not like salty wines, this is not your wine. The Ribera del Guadiana wines remind me of my visit to Cáceres, the homeland of Hernán Cortés, very acid, ideal in a cut like Sirlon or Arrachera. European wines are not usually as salty, like those in Mexico or South America but this one is delicious. — 7 years ago
