Tasting: Terra Minei Treixadura Ribeiro

Name: Terra Minei Treixadura Ribeiro
Variety: Treixadura
Region: Ribeiro
Country: Spain
Year: 2015
Price: Frontline $17, Sale $6.95

Winery Review: Firm and focused, this white supports the core of apple and pear flavors with flinty, steely and briny notes, accented with fresh herb and smoky details. Juicy acidity keeps this fresh and racy through the mineral finish.

My Review: Chemical and sulfur notes in both the smell and the taste. Mineral flavors, like the winery review suggested. I did not get the apple and pear flavors, but more of the mineral, metallic and mineral flavors. Very bold and persistent with flavors. I was not a fan of this wine, but can see how others would like it. 

I did not taste this wine with food.
