Galician winery Bodegas Paraguas works exclusively in Ribeiro and principally with the white grape variety, Treixadura. Their El Paraguas “Atlántico” has twice been named the best white wine in Spain, yet it has not garnered as much notoriety in the United States. The El Paraguas “Atlántico” 2020 contains 87% Treixadura, 10% Godello, and 3% Albariño. It delivers notes of pear skin, green apple, white peach, honeysuckle, rock salt, orange zest, crushed chalk, and sea spray. The palate has an incredible texture with a wave of fresh citrus acidity, bringing the exceedingly long finish to a refreshing close.
