Formigo's idea of Ribeiro is showcased by the 2020 Finca Teira, which is mostly Treixadura enhanced by some 15% Godello, 10% Caí?o Blanco and 5% Torrontés. It has good ripeness at 13.1% alcohol and a clean nose of white flowers and fruit plus some river stone and moss sensations. The palate is soft and balanced, with good freshness and integrated acidity. The wine matures with the lees, but they are not stirred or worked. The wine feels fresh. 20,000 bottles produced.

I tasted two vintages of the white Finca Teira, the younger 2019 Finca Teira and the previous year. 2019 was a "good," almost "normal" year after many challenging harvests. It's approximately 70% Treixadura, 15% Godello, 10% Caí?o Blanco and 5% Torrontés fermented after a direct pressing of the bunches at low temperature with neutral yeasts. It's bottled unoaked and without stirring the lees. It's clean and very floral, fresh and precise, with clean and focused flavors, nice balance and an approachable palate that makes it easy to understand. 20,000 bottles produced.

The white 2018 Finca Teira has the advantage of some extra time in bottle but the disadvantage of a weaker and more challenging year that delivered weaker wines, more fragile, wines I'd say are for earlier consumption. 15,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019.

With more concentration and nuance than the Formigo from the same vintage, the 2017 Finca Teira is produced exclusively with grapes from a vineyard called Teira and is a slightly different blend this time because of the frost of 2017. It has less Treixadura, around 60%, and then the other 40% is split between Godello, Torrontés, Loureira, Albari?o and Alvilla from decomposed granite soils. It's clean, with dominant aromas of white fruit and flowers and a serious palate with a textural sensation that makes me think of coarse granite sand. It's tasty and balanced, with good volume and balancing freshness. 10,000 bottles produced in a shorter vintage. It was bottled in July 2018.
