Wine Description:
The Meín vineyard in Leiro, Ourense, boasts historical significance dating back to 1158, acknowledged for its exceptional grape quality by the abbot of San Clodio Monastery. Viña Meín, pivotal in shaping modern Ribeiro, was established in 1988 by Javier Alén, later acquired by Ribera del Duero producer Pago de Carraovejas in July 2019. As part of the Alma Carraovejas group, Viña Meín and Emilio Rojo are under their umbrella. The vineyards, including Emilio Rojo's ancient terraced plot, span the Avia valley with sábrego granite soils. Viña Meín focuses on red and white cuvées, while Emilio Rojo remains a premium single-vineyard wine. Under new ownership, the 2019 harvest introduced separate plot and grape variety processing, emphasizing complexity. Winemaker Laura Moreno aims for elegance in reds and a nuanced white blend. All wines are anticipated to be released with extended bottle aging for heightened complexity upon market entry.

Wine Expert Note:

Viña Meín Blanco is a delightful white wine that hails from the Ribeiro region of Spain. This wine shows a beautiful pale yellow color with greenish reflections, enticing the eye with its freshness. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of aromas, including ripe citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, as well as floral notes of white flowers and a hint of minerality. The palate of Viña Meín Blanco is equally impressive, displaying a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and its smooth texture. The flavors are reminiscent of the aromas, with zesty citrus fruits taking the lead, accompanied by a touch of tropical fruit and a subtle herbal undertone. The wine finishes with a long and refreshing persistence, leaving a pleasant and lingering aftertaste.
