Emilio Rojo Ribeiro Blanco

Ribeiro, Spain

Spain's most sought-after and allocated white wine — a multi-vintage blend of Treixadura, Lado, Torrontés, and Albariño from old granite vines. Extraordinary complexity: apricot, dried herbs, beeswax, granite mineral, and a textural weight that develops magnificently over 10-15 years. One of Europe's natural wine treasures.

Pairing intelligence

• aperitif: Galicia's most prized seafood delicacy and its rarest white wine — the wine's mineral precision and saline character mirrors the barnacle's brine; a pairing of pure regional identity
• main: The Galician country kitchen's signature dish and its finest white wine — the wine's textural complexity handles the hearty soup; granite mineral mirrors the broth's depth
