About the wine
Javier's Treixadura, 'the queen of Ribeiro' is a soft and fruity white, with bags of delicious fresh peach, apricot and pear flavours
- Javier's Treixadura, ‘the Queen of Ribeiro’ is a soft and fruity white, with bags of delicious fresh peaches, apricots and pears to its name.
- In making this wine, Javier was on a mission to put Treixadura firmly on the map as one of the best white wines going. It's a grape that only those in the know will recognise, but you can bet that those same people are trying their darndest to keep it that way...
- The fruit based roundness is tied off neatly, leaving the palate with a grapefruit flavoured flourish. A real treat that comes complete with all the Queenly decedance the name suggests.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Javier Gonzalez
- Javier's vineyard in the Spanish region of Ribeiro is so much more than a plot of land. There's a rhyme and reason behind every detail, from the white grapes it grows all the way through to the finely tuned fermentation process - this is a space dedicated to Javier's family.
- Whilst working abroad in Venezuela, Javier's father, Ramón dreamt of the day he would return to Ribeiro to pick up his ancestors tools and make his ultimate white Ribeiro wine. In 2000 he did just that, purchasing a small plot of land with prime conditions for growing Treixadura and Albariño grapes.
- 13 years later Javier was handed the baton and has been carrying his fathers dream from strength to strength ever since. These personality filled and refined white wines are the result of pure dedication and have quite simply bowled us over!
