D3: Spain: Background: Rias Baixas wine region with Eva Minguez
Rias Baixas located in the north west of Spain in Galicia, just above Portugal. The region enjoys a maritime climate due to its proximity to the Atlantic ocean with lots of sunshine hours but its also very rainy creating a very green landscape. Albarino is the indigenous grape accounting for 95% of plantings. The grape is fruity and floral with apple, apricot the typical aromas, on both the nose and the palate. Red wine accounts for only 2% of production. The grapes are all hand-picked and hand-selected in the vineyard ensuring high quality and the wines are fermented (sometimes aged) in stainless steel.
I thought the questions were excellent, an extremely valuable revision tool. They really helped highlight areas I thought I had revised and understood but clearly had not, which has enabled me to focus on key areas to revisit and study before going into the exam... I think it is a great resource and an essential revision aid for any WSET 3 students wishing to gain a competitive edge and successfully pass the WSET 3 exam.
