Ravia 2022 · O Ribeiro

Ravia 2022 is a creation of Iría Otero, a winemaker with over 17 years of experience who founded her winery in 2015 with a clear objective: to produce wines that reflect the history and landscape of Ribeiro. This white wine originates in Ribadavia, in the heart of the Avia Valley, where the decomposed granite and sandy slopes impart freshness and minerality to the wine.

The Treixadura and Torrontés blend is cultivated using organic farming practices and minimal intervention. The Atlantic climate with Mediterranean nuances, along with a warm but balanced 2022 vintage thanks to September rains, yielded grapes of exceptional quality and expression.

The winemaking process combines respect and precision: fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, 7 months of aging on fine lees and partial malolactic fermentation in barrels, which give the wine a creamy texture, volume and a unique aromatic profile.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Straw yellow with greenish reflections, bright and clean.

• Nose: Intense aromas of ripe citrus fruits (mandarin, grapefruit), white flowers and delicate herbaceous nuances.

• Palate: Fresh and balanced, with moderate and well-integrated acidity. Long finish, with a slight vegetal bitterness that adds authenticity and persistence.

Pairings

Ravia 2022 is a fresh and elegant white wine, with good acidity and volume on the palate, ideal to accompany both traditional dishes and more modern proposals:

• Galician cuisine: steamed seafood (clams, cockles, mussels), scallop pie or Galician-style octopus.

• Fish: baked turbot, sea bass in salt or grilled cod with vegetables.

• White meats: free-range chicken with lemon and herbs or oven-baked turkey with light stuffing.

• International dishes: white fish sushi, sea bass ceviche or asparagus and parmesan risotto.

• Cheeses: fresh and semi-cured Galician cheeses (Tetilla, Arzúa-Ulloa) or a young goat cheese.
