If you haven’t heard of Terras Gauda yet, it’s about time to familiarize yourself – these guys are arguably the hottest winery in all of Spain. Terras Gauda literally translates to land of happiness, and of late – there’s more than enough reasons for that.
The Rías Baixas based winery is largely attributed with being responsible for the advancement and development of the O Rosal appellation as a whole, due to its dedication to quality control and preserving the native grape varieties of Galicia. Their wines are gorgeous.
The 2021 vintage was especially kind to the winery which saw both of their Albarinos reach entirely new heights. Their O Rosal Albarino blend ended up on the Wine Spectator’s ‘Top 100 Wines of the Year’ list this past year, and their San Campio Albarino that I’m featuring today earned 91 points and a Best Buy nod from Wine Enthusiast and was featured on their ‘Best of the Year’ publication.
Side note: The super cool label design is of an ‘abadia’ (a nearby abbey). The artist drew the image on the label in one single stroke.

91 Points (Best of the Year), Wine Enthusiast
“Aromas of apricot, yuzu and Turkish delight prep the palate for flavors of Valencia orange, grapefruit and rose petal. It is bright on the palate from the first sip to the zippy finish.”
90 Points, James Suckling
A fresh and zingy albarino with sliced green apples and lime zest. Elegant on the palate with a fresh streak of acidity cutting it through, before a slightly saline finish.
Even though we’re ahead of the scores, I have no doubt that what I secured for us today will join the long list of high-scoring whites for Groth – this really has it all. Made in 100% neutral oak, the aromatics completely shine here as soon as you open the bottle. Fresh lemon, citrus peel and nectarine on the nose with bright acidity, impeccable balance and a lingering aftertaste that makes you want to come back to the glass.
Even extremely well-trained palates have difficulty differentiating Pabiot’s Sauvignon from premier cru Sancerre. But I’ll let you in on the secret. Pabiot’s soils for the Coteau des Girarmes feature some of the same clay & limestone mix as across the river contributing that familiar minerality combined with fresh citrus fruits – lemon, lime but the slight variation adds a touch of white flower to the nose. That tiny bit adds just a little something more complex and interesting then you’ll find in most Sancerre.
94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Every single year, Adam Tolmach’s Bien Nacido Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are showered with huge scores. It’s like death and taxes. The last time one of his wines failed to receive at least a 90 from The Wine Advocate was back in 2005! In Cali’s “bounce back” 2021 vintage, you know the big score trend continued. The new release has yet to be reviewed by the usual suspects (Wine Advocate, Vinous) but Jeb Dunnuck did get his hands on it and gave it a rave 94-point review where he highlighted the “supple mouthfeel, terrific balance and clean finish.”
Simply stunning. An incredible effort in arguably the greatest Sancerre vintage since 1947, Dominique’s single vineyard ‘Les Deserts’ is considered the Grand Cru vineyard of Bue. It’s a dead ringer for Premier Cru Chablis; it’s that complex. How when it’s Sauvignon Blanc? Well, the vines of Les Deserts are rooted in Kimmeridgian rock, the same soil you find in the best vineyards of Chablis. It’s full-bodied with a chalky minerality and a beautiful, vibrant intensity. This will forever change the way you view Sancerre. It really is that good.
