Taboadella Villae White
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The Villae wines are unoaked blends that showcase the character of the Taboadella grape variety. They are intense yet delicately scented, featuring a lighter body, soft tannins, and refreshing acidity.
- The exuberance and clarity of the Encruzado grape variety, combined with the delicate floral aromas of Bical and the boldness of Cercial, allowed for the creation of a Villae white wine that possesses a unique profile and vibrant acidity.
- This wine beautifully reflects the essence of its original terroir.
