Their blended wine, the 2013 Condado Laxas mixes Albari?o, Treixadura and Loureiro following the tradition in the Condado del Tea where the winery is located. It's fermented in stainless steel and pretty much follows the same process as for the other wines. It's quite light and discreet, with faint aromas and flavors and some acidity. Only 5,000 bottles.

The 2011 Condado comes from the so-called “Tea District” and is a blend of 70% Albarino, 25% Treixadura and 5% Loureiro fermented in stainless steel tanks. It has a simple nose of pear and grapefruit with distant scents of pinecones. The palate is a little shrill on the entry and it is missing the complexity that I would have hoped for at this price, finishing very primal. Drink now. The cellars of As Laxas date all the way back to 1862 in Arbo (Condado do Tea) on the banks of the River Mino. Approximately 60% of the fruit comes from their own vineyards, although they intend to reduce this figure in the future.Importer: Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, White Plains, NY; tel.

The 2010 Condado Laxas is a blend of Albarino, Treixadura, and Loureiro revealing aromas of mineral, baking spices, pear, melon, and citrus. More complex that the straight Albarino offerings, this tasty effort has a lengthy, seamless finish. Importer: Tom George, Frontier Wines, Dover, NJ; Tel. (973) 328-4500

The 2009 Condado Laxas is a blend of equal parts Albarino, Treixadura, and Loureiro sourced from 30 year old vines. Medium straw in color with a slight amber tint, it proffers an already complex bouquet of melon, fresh herbs, and citrus. Ripe, flavorful, and dense, this rich offering will provide considerable pleasure over the next 3-4 years. Bodegas As Laxas has been family owned and operated since its inception in 1862.
