Eidosela has put together a lovely Albariño blend with candied green apple, lemon blossom, a touch of petrichor and orange skin. The wine drives onto the palate nicely with a bright acid line, good fruit weight and perfect for whatever you’ve got cooking in the kitchen.

Despite there being a wealth of internationally respected vintners jetting in and out of the Spanish wine regions every day, parting their wisdom and tinkering in a range of wineries across the country, sometimes it’s the locals who know best. That’s the thinking behind Bodegas Eidosela, a Rias Baixas winery located in the subregion of Condado de Tea. This organisation is run entirely by a group of local growers who have the soil of their vineyards in their blood, and who know this land better than anybody else. The result? Characterful, impressively expressive wines which capture the essence of the region, and which are quickly gaining an army of devoted followers. While the winemakers of Bodegas Eidosela go to great lengths to respect the winemaking practices of their region, their philosophy includes not shying away from combining tradition with state of the art technology. Thus, their wines are precise and yet all handled with an artisanal touch that provides plenty of charm and personality.
