Current condition

Fresh fruit notes with balanced acidity

Treixadura varietal wines from Rías Baixas generally have medium acidity and moderate body that favor drinking within 5-7 years. The 2018 vintage is mature enough now to appreciate integrated fruit and fresh acidity at its peak around 2022-2024. Extended aging is typically not recommended to preserve primary fruit expression.

Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Employs water conservation techniques and integrated pest management; eco-friendly packaging with lightweight bottles

Lack of formal organic/biodynamic certification lowers score slightly. Regional shipping reduces transport emissions, but some imported markets add footprint. Packaging is optimized for environmental impact.
