Description
Founded in 2003, Bodegas Eidosela is the brainchild of a small group of enterprising, like-minded local growers (61 in total) dedicated to producing their own, quality Rías Baixas wines. Bodegas Eidosela is located in the sub-zone Condado de Tea (county of the River Tea, which flows into the Miño) and has a total of 48 hectares under vine, planted to Albariño, Treixadura and Loureiro in 600 separate parcels, the biggest being just 2 ha. Each vineyard is owned by a member of the Bodegas’ co-operative.
The name ‘Eidosela’ was born from the union of ‘Eidos’ and ‘Sela’ which roughly translates to ‘roads to sela’ (sela meaning the place, ‘here’), and is meant to indicate the paths which unite the little patches here and there which collectively are Eidosela. We import Eidosela under two labels (both of which are the same wine, we ship according to availability in screwcap at any given time), hence you might get ‘Breizo’ which means ‘truth’ in old (celtic) Gallego, or ‘Charquiño’, which is another place name, literally ‘little puddle’, referring to the constant dampness near the Atlantic coast. ‘Arbastrum’ is a Latin conjunction that translates to mean ‘Star of Arbo’ (Arbo is the town where the winery is based). The oenologist (enólogo in Spanish) is Jorge Hervella. His wines are well-focused without unnecessary tightness and have very good lines.
About this wine .. Stainless steel handling, with 50% of the blend aged 4 months on lees in tank.
Aromas of prickly pear, small green apples, pomelo, cut white nectarine, preserved lemon, straw, a nice briny tang and lovely bitter herbs: rocket, white pepper, radish, cut fennel. 100% varietal in a very stylish, smooth, mid-weight register. With juicy acidity and a nice little nutty snap to close, the fruit tannins are perfectly handled (so often the Achilles heel of this tricky variety).
