Founded in 1940, Finca Reboreda, which produces the A Telleira wines, is the largest private wine firm in D.O. Ribeiro. Finca Reboreda is credited with being pioneers for quality wine in the area. José Luis Méndez and his daughter Ana are leading the way as one of the most progressive and well regarded wineries in Galicia.
The A Telleira vineyard is made up of 40 hectares (98.84 acres) on the Miño River west of the provincial capital and ancient Roman mining center of Orense. Soil types are alluvial and stony near the river with outcroppings of slate, granite and chalk on the higher west-facing slopes. Varieties planted include Godello, Mencía, Treixadura, Torrontés and Loureiro.
The Méndez family also purchased the Albariño super-estate Adegas Morgadío in 1996.
A creamy and intense Godello with lemon custard, green apples, sour cream and stones on the nose, following through to a medium-bodied, zesty and flavorful palate. Really fresh, tangy and focused, with a mouthwatering finish.
"Pale straw to the eye, this wine offers a bouquet of nectarine, honeysuckle and thyme. Fresh peach and pineapple flavors are joined by vivid acidity and notes of stargazer lily and river rocks that evaporate into a bright finish." - 90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
