About the wine
Javier Gonzalez hand picks and blends Treixadura, Albariño and Godello from his own vineyards
-
We’ve made $5 million available to help struggling wineries to survive and come out the other side of this Covid crisis. The closure of bars and restaurants across the globe has been a disaster for the independent winemakers who supply them. The little guys, without connections to the big supermarkets, are the ones who are suffering the most.
-
And one of the worst places in the world to be a small, family winemaker was Northern Spain. For the little guys - who sell most of their stock to local bars, cafes and restaurants - the toughest lockdown in Europe has spelled disaster for their business.
- Javier Gonzalez hand picks and blends Treixadura, Albariño and Godello from his own vineyards to create this fresh, sophisticated white with hints of fresh green apple, lime, juicy pineapple and peach. Lovely with seafood tapas.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Javier Gonzalez
- Javier's vineyard in the Spanish region of Ribeiro is so much more than a plot of land. There's a rhyme and reason behind every detail, from the white grapes it grows all the way through to the finely tuned fermentation process - this is a space dedicated to Javier's family.
- Whilst working abroad in Venezuela, Javier's father, Ramón dreamt of the day he would return to Ribeiro to pick up his ancestors tools and make his ultimate white Ribeiro wine. In 2000 he did just that, purchasing a small plot of land with prime conditions for growing Treixadura and Albariño grapes.
- 13 years later Javier was handed the baton and has been carrying his fathers dream from strength to strength ever since. These personality filled and refined white wines are the result of pure dedication and have quite simply bowled us over!
