Tasting notes
These exceptional vineyards result in a wine with great aromatic intensity, featuring crisp notes of ripe white fruits like golden delicious apples and pears, pleasantly supported by citrus tones. The refreshing acidity combined with the concentrated flavor makes this a wonderfully drinkable wine.

Bodegas Eidosela
The grapes come 100% from Condado do Tea, one of the subregions of Rías Baixas, and are sourced from about 100 micro-vineyards, mostly owned by individuals who entrust vineyard maintenance and harvest to Bodegas Eidosela. These vineyard owners are also co-owners of the winery, preserving traditional ownership while ensuring top quality.

Founded in 2003, the cooperative is a union of 61 winegrowers, many of whom inherited very small vineyard plots—on average less than 1 hectare per grower!

Rías Baixas lies on the Atlantic coast by the Rio Minho, near the Portuguese town of La Guardia. The average elevation is 300 meters. The climate is strongly influenced by the ocean: mild temperatures, adequate rainfall, and dry summers. Combined with poor, sandy soils with high pH, this results in wines with distinct aromas and a fresh character. Bodegas Eidosela cultivates 60 hectares, primarily Albariño, Treixadura, and Loureiro.
