Sadly, Daterra, the personal project of the incredibly talented Laura Lorenzo, has stopped the production of white wine. So, the remaining bottles of Daterra Erea do Pobo on the market are likely all that remain. Lorenzo is one of a few vintners who recently spearheaded a renaissance in Ribeira Sacra. Her Erea do Pobo 2020 is a highly aromatic and elegant blend of 80 to 120-year-old Godello, Doña Blanca, and Treixadura. It has fantastic lingering flavors of orchard fruit core, yellow grapefruit, white blossoms, and wild sage, all wrapped around a core of sea salt-laden minerality. It has an intriguing texture with a dry, long, and utterly superb finish.
