Bodega Raíces Ibéricas Treixadura 2024

Raíces Treixadura 2024 | A distinctive white wine from Galicia

If you enjoy discovering wines beyond the familiar Spanish Verdejo and Albariño, Raíces Treixadura 2024 is a wonderful choice. This white wine comes from Ribeiro, a wine region in Galicia in northwestern Spain. Here, the Treixadura grape takes centre stage. Although still relatively unknown internationally, this native variety has plenty of character and deserves much more attention.

The winery: Bodega Raíces Ibéricas

Founded in 1998, Bodega Raíces Ibéricas has a clear ambition: to showcase the diversity of Spanish vineyards and the country's remarkable native grape varieties. The winery works across several Spanish wine regions, focusing on grapes that are closely connected to their origins. Sustainable viticulture, healthy soils and biodiversity are important parts of its philosophy. The result is a diverse collection of wines, each with its own identity and story to tell.

The grape: Treixadura

Treixadura is a white grape variety native to Galicia. It is one of the region's most important white grapes and is also grown near the Portuguese border and in northern Portugal. The variety is appreciated for its fresh character and its ability to produce balanced wines with delicate aromatic expression.

This wine is made exclusively from Treixadura. One interesting aspect of the grape is its harvest timing. Treixadura ripens relatively early and is sometimes harvested just before reaching full maturity. This helps preserve its natural freshness and lively acidity.

In the glass

Raíces Treixadura 2024 is a fresh and characterful white wine, combining citrus fruit with subtle spicy notes. Expect refreshing lemon, delicate fruit flavours and a gentle hint of pepper. Its lively acidity gives the wine plenty of energy, while its flavour offers enough depth to keep things interesting. Rather than relying on bold aromas, this wine impresses through its elegance, balance and distinctive personality.

Food pairing: a versatile companion at the table

This Treixadura is wonderfully versatile when it comes to food. Its fresh acidity and subtle spice make it an excellent match for fish dishes, shellfish and grilled prawns. It also works beautifully with goat's cheese salads, ceviche and light Mediterranean cuisine.

For something a little different, try it with grilled chicken, dishes featuring fresh herbs or mild cheeses. Serve chilled at approximately 8 to 10°C.

A wine worth discovering

Raíces Treixadura 2024 is a lovely discovery for anyone who enjoys exploring beyond the usual wine regions and grape varieties. An authentic Spanish white wine with its own personality, made from a grape that deserves far more recognition. As an added bonus, this wine received an impressive 92 points from James Suckling.

A wonderful taste of Galicia!
