Lea & Sandeman review
Bodega do Campo's premuim wine is a selection of Treixadura, Torrontes, Loureira and Lado from their best vineyard sites. Packed with mature white fruits and tropical notes, this is concentrated enough that we thought, mistakenly it seems, that it must have had some sort of oak treatment. In fact this is only fermented and kept in stainless steel. A brave effort and a great success.
Mixed Cases
Galicia is the bit of Spain that sticks out over the top of Portugal (but, of course, you knew that). Here the wines are very different to the rest of Spain, the whites are bright crisp aromatic affairs that accompany well the local sea-food based diet, whilst the less-known reds are at the fruitier, fresher end of things. Rioja they, certainly, are not. It was Albariño that put the region on the map internationally, but there is so much more to know. Here's a taste of Galicia, a selection that will charm and refresh, and have you yearning for more.
