Terras Gauda Porta do Miño Licor de Hierbas
Bodegas Terras Gauda, renowned for its commitment to Galician viticulture, produces this herbal liqueur in Galicia using pomace brandy derived from Albariño grape marc.
The distillation is exclusively based on the winemaking residues from its own vineyards, thereby integrating the winery’s production cycle and emphasizing the connection to its origin.
The liqueur features a carefully selected blend of herbs and spices, including chamomile, mint, coriander, nutmeg, licorice, and sage, along with other traditional aromatic plants.
The base brandy, distilled from Albariño pomace, imparts varietal character and a rich, enveloping texture, while the botanical infusion follows traditional methods to preserve freshness and aromatic profile.
Bottled at 35% ABV, no details are provided regarding filtration or coloring. On the nose, the liqueur reveals intense notes of fresh herbs, dried flowers, and sweet spices.
On the palate, it opens smoothly and balanced, with a development marked by persistent herbal flavors and a slightly balsamic background; the texture is creamy, and the alcohol is well integrated, providing warmth without harshness.
It is recommended to serve chilled in a small glass as a digestif after meals or to use it in classic Galician cocktails, such as an ingredient in a traditional queimada.
