General Information
Coto de Gomariz 2023 is one of the most attractive wines that best reflects the essence of the whites from the D.O. Ribeiro. Dominated by treixadura (70%) and complemented with godello, loureira, and albariño, its origin is a mosaic of seven plots of clay, schist, and granite sand soils that Bodega Coto de Gomariz meticulously works in the parish of Gomariz.
Founded at the end of the 1970s, Bodega Coto de Gomariz is currently experiencing its best phase. Coto de Gomariz 2023 is one of its magnificent creations, a white wine distinguished by its aromatic richness and freshness, ideal for enjoying with dishes such as Galician-style scallops, turbot, cod, smoked salmon, white meats, and mild cheeses.
Tasting notes
Of a brilliant yellow-green tone.
Lively and citrusy nose, with predominant mineral notes and orchard fruit aromas well complemented by sweet spices, ginger, and floral touches.
On the palate, it reveals itself as round and silky. Spicy flavors (orange and lemon pith) stand out, with a bitter hint of quince. Balanced and persistent finish.
The winery
Winery
Coto de Gomariz is the winery of the Carreiro family. Its name refers to the valley and the village of Gomariz in Ourense, where, since the 10th century and as recorded in the general registry of the Kingdom of Simancas, the oldest wine estate in the Iberian Peninsula is located. The origin of the winery dates back to the 1970s when Ricardo Carreiro Ameijeiras, a native of Barro de Gomariz, returned from South America, where he had emigrated, and decided to resume winemaking. He purchased estates and annexed them to the family heritage, and in 1978 planted O Figueiral, the first mechanized vineyard in the area at that time. The first bottles of Coto de Gomariz came to light in the 1980s.
However, it was not until the year 2000, with the construction of the current winery and the management of his son Ricardo Carreiro Álvarez, that Coto de Gomariz became what it is today: one of the leading wineries of the D.O. Ribeiro.
Today, the winery owns 32 hectares of vineyards cultivated throughout the Alvia valley. Under the technical direction of the winemaker Xose Lois Sebio and following a mix of traditional, biodynamic, and ecological techniques, they produce high-expression wines from native grape varieties such as treixadura, godello, loureira, sousón, and mencía.
