2012 Almalarga Barrica Ribeira Sacra Adega Pena das Donas

Grapes Godello
Colour White
Origin Spain
Sub-district Ribeira Sacra
ABV 13%

Do not be put off by the fact this wine says 'barrica' (oaked) on the label (we were when we first looked at it), as it is a far cry from being oaky. Lovely texture with a single note of richness mid-palate. L&S (Nov 2013)

The oak is subtly handled, giving a bit of spiciness and weight, but it remains a fairly simple beast. 2014-2015 Rating: 15.5 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2014)

Adega Pena das Donas

The Ribera Sacra is an ancient land of valleys and monasteries, but the DO was only created in 1996, and this is the only Galician region which specialises in red wines, notably from the Mencia grape, as well as making beautifully crafted whites from Godello. Pena das Donas is a relatively new estate, although the five hectares of vineyards they have acquired on the incredibly steep, terraced banks of the meandering River Sil are between eighty and one hundred years old. These are among the best Godello and Mencia wines we have tasted, so pure and precise in their execution, making them truly world class.
