Regina Viarum, Godello, 2014, White, Ribeira Sacra, Spain

Modern days Ribeira Sacra evergreen countryside and wine region stays in Galicia, the Northwestern most region of Spain, Europe. Circa a 1000 years ago it was part of Portugal. And circa 2000 years ago it was part of the Roman Empire.

Regina Viarum, Godello, 2014, labels itself as “Viticultura Heroica”, heroic viticulture. It claims its heritage from the ancient roman viticulture from nature defying terraces with more than 45 degrees located along the river Sil.

Its freshness is ageless. Traditionally harvested, it is meant to be drunken young. At heart.
