Description
Terras Gauda Group
Terras Gauda Group is made up of three wineries: Bodegas Terras Gauda, Viñedos and Bodegas Pittacum and Quinta Sardonia, and by the vegetable cannery A Rosaleira. Bodegas Terras Gauda was founded in the O Rosal Valley, within the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin, with an initial production of 37,000 bottles of the 1990 vintage. We currently sell more than 1.5 million bottles. Our 160 hectares of vineyards guarantee us, in quantity and quality, the raw material necessary to make our wines. Bodegas Terras Gauda proposes the main objective of producing wines of the highest quality, with their own personality, from noble varieties grown in the ideal conditions and vinified according to the tradition of the area, processed with the most advanced technology and maximum care.
Since 2000 we are certified in the Quality Management System, according to ISO 9001: 2000, which allows us to guarantee control in all processes and food safety of our products, as well as establishing the basis for improvement keep going. Bodegas Terras Gauda acquired in 2002 Bodegas Pittacum, in the Denomination of Origin Bierzo, to produce quality red wines from old vineyards and aged in oak. In 2010 we incorporated the Quinta Sardonia winery in Sardón de Duero, in which we elaborate high-end red wines under the principles of biodynamics. We have diversified the line of business in 2008 with A Rosaleira, an artisanal canning factory founded in O Rosal in 1940.
R+D+i
Since its foundation in 1989, Terras Gauda has been a pioneer with different research projects, which strengthens its commitment to R+D+i as a differentiating element to produce wines with a marked uniqueness and quality, achieving important advances in viticulture and enology year after year from 2001 to today. This synergy has allowed us to be the locomotive of the scientific advances applied to galician viticulture, including Spanish, the result of a realistic and practical development of R+D+i in the search of a deep knowledge of our varieties, both from the viticultural aspect as from the enological, awarded with the 2009 Research Prize. Development of a pioneering procedure to naturally enhance the healthybio properties of wines, raising the concentration of flavanols. Pioneers with the project of clonal selection of Albariño grape, whose result was the identification of the clones that, due to their resistance to diseases, agronomic and organoleptic characteristics, better adapt to our wines. The winery selects these clones for grafts assessing the situation, the type of soil, the orientation of the vineyards and the climate of the plots in which they are planted. First ecotypic yeast of Albariño isolated and selected from our vineyard. By means of the necessary tests, we verify that this yeast extraordinarily reinforces the varietal character and the fruity aromas of our wines, besides allowing to maintain the quality of these in all the vintages. Anaerobic biological breeding, allows the production of Albariño white wines with a distinctive sensory character. When making the breeding in contact with the own ecotypic yeasts, they release the wine, among other compounds, the mannoproteins that contribute to extraordinarily strengthen the uniqueness of our wines. We consider that another of our autochthonous varieties, the Caíño Blanco, for its excellent qualities, deserved special attention, so we carried out an international research project isolating a microorganism from Caíño Blanco, which has been genetically certified by means of a DNA test. and guarantees the production of unique wines. This allows us to be the only winery in Spain with three patents. In 2012 Bodegas Terras Gauda and the CSIC sign an agreement to develop in Spain the first “Project of scientific culture”, to develop joint actions aimed at promoting scientific culture in Oenology and Viticulture, and to encourage among society interest in knowledge. Previously, in the years 1992 and 1993 we had realized with remarkable success tests of elaboration of cava by the method champagnoise, that, although it did not get to commercialize, gave light on the future possibilities of this type of elaborated.

2017: The Albariño grapes behind Abadía de San Campio 2017 were selected from the vineyards located in Goián and harvested on September 11th and 12th. These grapes were collected after the rainy start to spring followed by a strong drought that led to an advance in flowering and the subsequent growth of the vine. The harvest began ten days earlier than usual, with a perfectly ripe Albariño, concentrated and great taste.
Producing Region: O Rosal, Rías Baixas, Galicia, Spain.
Appellation of Origin: Rías Baixas D.O.
Variety: 100% Albariño.
Viticulture: This wine is made from the Albariño grown in our highest-altitude, less humid, cooler vineyards where there ls a regater day-night temperature differential, thus favoring slower ripening, giving us a fresher Albariño of great aromatic intensity, a greater degree of acidity and smoothness on the palate. The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in crates weighing no more than 18 Kg, thus preventing the grapes from prematurely splitting open.
Vinification: Following 6 hours of cold soaking, the traditional low-temperature fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats after adding native yeasts supplied from our own vineyards. The wine is cold stabilized, filtered and then finally bottled.
Tasting Notes: On the aromatic side, this 2017 vintage stands out for their marked and fresh nuances of tropical fruits, where ripe pineapple and mango predominare, accompanied by delicate citrus aromas of lime and grapefruit together with a light reminder of pear and apple. These aromas are enhanced by the cold maceration. This harvest shines for its strength and balance on the palate. Its fresh acidity, typical of a mature Albariño, is integrated into flavourful, rich friendly, very alive and appetizing character. The aftertaste again brings aromas of tropical fruit, with a very long finish.
Winemaker´s Comments: We do not consider it necessary to decant this wine. Cellaring/aging potential: This wine should be drunk young at. We do not recommend aging. Best when served at: 10ºC to 12ºC.
Food Matching: Wonderful pairing with shellfish, oysters, clam and crab. Enjoy with spicy asian cuisine.
