Luis Rodriguez, A Teixa, 2022 SO012726 Roagna Eight white varieties from oneLuis Rodriguez Vazquez is one of the heroes of Ribeiro, the rugged Galician region near the Portuguese border, where since 1988 he's quietly resurrected nearly extinct native grapes that Franco era plantings had pushed aside. A Teixa is his single vineyard white, led by Treixadura with Godello and Albarino, off granite terraces. It's a rounded, mineral, refined introduction to his whites, with the salinity and granite imprint that define his wines.
