Luis Rodriguez Ribeiro Blanco Escolma 2018

$7499

The 2018 Escolma represents Luis Rodriguez's masterwork from Ribeiro's finest grapes—ultra-low-yielding old-vine Treixadura from granite terraces near Arnoia, fermented and aged in new and semi-new oak barrels with extended lees contact. Released four years after harvest, this vintage has developed remarkable complexity and structure. Rodriguez has been quietly revolutionizing Ribeiro since 1988, proving that these once nearly extinct native grapes can produce sophisticated, age-worthy wines of genuine distinction.

More about Luis Rodriguez

Over the past three decades, Luis Rodriguez has quietly established himself as the master of the Ribeiro, that tiny corner of Galicia that has historically been home to some of Spain’s greatest wines. His wines are not showy, and they don't adhere to the any of the trends or fads that periodically seize the wine world. They are gorgeous wines, crafted entirely of native grapes, and they veritably roar with maritime terroir.

Centuries ago, Ribeiro was responsible for some of the most highly esteemed and widely traded wines in Europe, but a series of devastations (war, disease, war again) cut that fame short. Today, it is a region ripe for revival. A truly passionate and skilled winemaker like Rodriguez can take the region’s granitic soil, its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its unique grapes and produce wines that are much more than the sum of their parts—something truly magical.

Over the last 30 years, Luis Rodriguez has managed to amass close to a hundred micro-parcels, all around the small town of Arnoia. From these vines, he produces incredibly complex, mineral-driven and deliciously distinctive wines; there is no doubt that his can hold their own against some of the finest wines from anywhere. Despite all hailing from the same tiny geographic area, there are striking differences between each cuvée.

These are wines we love to drink: honest, authentic and entirely singular examples of passion and talent, united in one winemaker.
