Emilio Rojo, Ribeiro, Galicia, Spain, 2018

For some people, this is a most idiosyncratic wine. For me, it is the epitome of the potential of Ribeiro. Emilio Rojo defies any classification. His wines do not indicate variety, but they show origin and style, with white fruit, white spice, zesty notes and some grass aromas, as well as a healthy bit of development. The mouthfeel is amazingly delicate and persistent, in a style of its own. I'd recommend sipping this wine – it is a unique experience. I would do it now, but I’m curious about its potential for ageing.
