  • QDM Treixadura Bajo Velo
    QDM Treixadura Bajo Velo Jose Luis Mateo, of Quinta da Muradella in the tiny Galician appellation of Monterrei, has a reputation among the winemaking community in Europe as the “rock whisperer.” He has taken his commitment to elevating the terroir and winemaking of his homeland to what could accurately be called obsession. Working only with indigenous varieties in this little appellation just north of Portugal, he has single-handedly codified the soil composition, aspect, elevation and quality ceiling for every parcel he could find. His winery is the size of most tasting rooms – to call his wines “small production” is an understatement. But the wines he crafts are pure expressions of the stone and sunshine of Monterrei. Additionally, he has made a number of wines that are a nod to historic techniques, including this Treixadura, which ages under flor – (Bajo Velo translates to “under veil.”). Cerebral and thought-provoking, the wines are indeed a beautiful expression of Jose Luis himself, whose intellect and passion and connection to the land which he farms are unparalleled. WHAT MAKES THIS WINE UNIQUE?: 100% estate grown, single vineyard Treixadura, vinified under flor for an extended period (2013 is the current release). A nod to historic techniques in the Monterrei region. RATING HISTORY: 2016 94 WA; 2013 94 W&S; 92WA GRAPE: 100% Treixadura, planted to clay at 460m (1510 ft) elevation in 2000. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: The waxy, lanolin-heavy nature of treixadura, combined with the flor aging, makes for a savory, rich, herbal wine. Pair with rich poultry dishes, particularly preparations with additional umami like mushrooms or soy.

  • Application of Autochthonous Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae XG3 in Treixadura Wines from DO Ribeiro

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains involved in fermentation determine the chemical and sensory characteristics of wines. S. cerevisiae XG3, isolated in Galicia (NW Spain), has desirable oenological potential, which has been proved at a pilot scale to produce quality wines. This study applies XG3 as active dry yeast at an industrial scale for Treixadura wine elaboration, and compares it with commercial yeast and spontaneous fermentation within three wineries included in Denomination of Origin Ribeiro over two vintages. Fermentations are monitored using conventional methods, and microbiological implantation controls are carried Citation: Blanco, P.; Vázquez-Alén, out by mtDNA-RFLPs analysis. Wine basic chemical parameters are determined using OIV official M.; Garde-Cerdán, T.; Vilanova, M. methodology, and volatile aroma compounds are determined by GC-MS.

  • Casal De Arman 2018 Eira Dos Mouros White (Ribeiro)
    Casal de Arman 2018 Eira dos Mouros White (Ribeiro) WineWise Code SCA-EDM18 Country Spain Region Ribeiro Subregion Ribeiro do Avia Color White Alcohol by Volume 12.8 Acidity 5.81 Residual Sugar 4.1 Annual cases produced 4,200 Varieties 100% Treixadura light maceration of whole grapes in cold room before Maceration Notes pneumatic pressing Fermentation vessel Stainless Steel Added Sulfur Yes, 35 mg/L Grape Picking Hand-harvested WineWise Notes: Treixadura is king in Ribeiro, being especially well-suited to its weathered granitic soils. Although rarely given the chance, it is also a variety of some structure that enables serious aging. The “entry level” wine is stainless- steel fermented with some time on the lees. Remarkably expressive, vivid, and spicy, this charms as it seduces. This new discovery comes from the González family, who had been making Ribeiro wines since the 19th century, but created this winery twenty years ago. In common with the best wines of the region, their vineyards are relatively high up, keeping the acid and freshness these varieties (hand-harvested Treixadura, Godello, Loureiro, Brencellao, Caíño and Sousón) require. The installation itself is hugely impressive. A grand 18th century hacienda meticulously restored and offering spacious and luxurious accommodation and a fine restaurant. It commands the Avia River valley, with its vineyards, terraced and otherwise, on all sides. The wine-making facility is compact but well-designed, having been built into a hillside, enabling gravity-feeding for all processes. The estate is on a constant mission to expand its holdings, with the aim of eventually reaching 40 hectares (24 are planted at present).

Different phenological models (GDD, GDD Triangular and UniFORC) were tested and validated to predict budburst and flowering dates of grapevines at the variety level using phenological observations collected from Treixadura, Godello, Loureira and Albariño between 2008 and 2019.
