I love this wine. it’s beautifully packaged, and its contents are great, too. From the northwest of Spain, and specifically the Ribeiro appellation, it’s a varietal Treixadura (in neighbouring Vinho Verde region of Portugal, it is known as Trajadura). This wine has depth of flavour plus freshness, and it’s quite distinctive.
Coto de Gomariz The Flower and the Bee Treixadura 2011 Ribeiro, Spain
Deep yellow/gold colour, this is a lovely full-flavoured white wine. Powerful flavours of herbs, pears and white peach, with some apricot and spice notes. Real presence, but not at all heavy. Just lovely fruit intensity, and amazing freshness. Drink now. 92/100

1 Comment on The Flower and the Bee, a wonderful Treixadura from Ribeiro
Subtle aromas, but lively flavors of lemon, peach, green apple and nuts. It has a lot of body that makes it slightly buttery, but there is just enough acidity on the finish to balance it. This is a very nice white for the money. I gave it 90 points.
