Wine Caeira 2022

Viña Caeira is a young wine estate in Rias Baixas, in the sub-region of Condado do Tea. Near the vineyards, the smaller 'Tea' river flows into the well-known 'Miño' river and provides a specific microclimate. Combined with the poorer soils than in the sub-regions 'O Rosal' and 'Soutomaior', the vines here have to work a little harder to obtain their nutrients. This results in stronger vines with greater resilience. The Albariño wines from this region are therefore a little softer and juicier in their fruit, still with the characteristic fresh acidity and salty expression thanks to the unique location near the Atlantic Ocean.

The wine gives us in the nose intense aromas of citrus, fresh peach, ripe white fruit and a floral undertone with soft spiciness. In the mouth we are surprised with a fresh and tight wine but still with a softer middle structure, a range of mouth and nose aromas provide the intense experience and complexity with long aftertaste, just after swallowing you experience a salty expression that testifies to its location on the ocean. This wine is therefore a perfect pairing with shellfish or with our own Belgian white asparagus.
