The 2005 Vina Mein is an estate grown and bottled blend of 70% Treixadura, 15% Godello, 10% Loureira, and 5% other varietals. Light straw-colored, it exhibits an attractive floral, citrus, and honey-scented perfume. This is followed by a supple-textured, crisp, fruity wine with very good balance and length. Drink it over the next 12-18 months with a variety of seafood courses.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767

Treixadura-based, with Godello, Loureira and tiny portions of Albarino, Torrontes, Caino Blanca and Albilla. The whole, however, is all that counts, and this is simply an excellent white that’s aromatic, dry as a bone, and fresh as spring. ——M.S.(9/1/2006)—— 91
