Terras Gauda, Rias Baixas, Spain, 2006

Festive season 2008. Bought at El Corte Ingles Gourmet shop, Oporto.

For the Christmas eve dinner I chose this wonderful light white from Galicia, northwest Spain. The Terras Gauda is to me one of the best Rias Baixas' wine region white wines. They are made mostly out of Albariño grape and made at the Rosal Valley, at Miño river, natural border with the Northernmost part of Portugal.

A perfect match with the traditional typical dish, the bacalhau cozido (boiled sun dried cod fish accompanied with boiled potatoes and cabbage).
