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.
The O Rosal Blend is a racy mix of 60% Albariño, 23% Caíño Blanco and 7% Loureiro. The 2021 vintage exhibits a well-rounded wine Galician white wine, filling the palate with a fresh, youthful and vibrant mouthfeel.

“This Albariño-dominant wine has a nose of nectarine and Valencia orange. It is bright on impact, offering flavors of ripe summer peach and mango intertwined with a gorgeous floral note that is attributable to the Loureiro in the blend.”
91 Points, James Suckling
“Quite an intense albarino with lemon rind, minerals, pears and a hint of apricot. This is creamy and sleek on the palate, with fresh, lemony flavors that spread evenly across the palate”

Delicate notes of fresh herb and wet stone accent the apricot and Meyer lemon fruit flavors in this lithe, light-bodied white, which is zesty on the palate, with a spine of racy acidity. Lightly creamy on the salty finish. Albariño, Caiño and Loureiro.

“The wine’s prominent vineyard signature or “sense of place” is its core driving feature, and this character is both clearly defined and focused in the wine’s flavor and structure. It shows real authority and great authenticity. Aromatically layered and complex with fresh raspberry and red cherry fruits, then rose petal and thyme, and an underlying mossy, woodsy edge. The wine’s fruit is initially crunchy and crisp before turning darker to sleek and succulent cassis and black cherry. As the wine expands, it grows in volume and mineral focus then finishes long, persistent, and penetrating, with great clarity of flavor and spicy intensity.”
This is a spectacular new release – a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay from one of California’s hottest spots. As bright and refreshing as you could want, it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality creeping in on the finish. It’s a fantastic wine for summer, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.

“Grassy aromas on the nose – very Sauvignon Blanc with green apples and pears. The palate is bright and zesty, with good persistence and high acidity keeping the palate fresh and lively. Well defined with precision in the fruit profile. Nice lift at the end. ” -Decanter
The Lauverjat Pouilly Fume 2021 was born just across the Loire River from Sancerre, where the soil is rich with river deposits, Portlandian limestone, and Kimmerdigian limestone. It really is the triple threat of soil, and this flint influence gives the wine incredible depth and beauty. It was entered in the Gilbert & Gaillard International Wine Tasting, where it won the gold medal and was called “a multi-award winning Pouilly-Fume made from old-vines” in a review that ended with a simple declaration: “As good as it gets.”
