Profile
Smell
Aromas of fresh lemon, green apple, and white peaches leap from the glass, with hints of nectarine and yellow plum. Extended aging on fine lees contributes incredible complexity and aromas of fresh-baked bread, and there are faint floral notes reminiscent of jasmine.
Taste
Dry and fresh on the palate, with explosive flavours of peaches, waxy apple skin, and fresh nectarine. The finish is incredibly long, with persistent, mouth-watering acidity and a flinty, almost spicy note. There's so much going on with this wine, so it's well worth allowing it a bit of time to open up in your glass to capture all the nuanced flavours.
Pairing
Go all-in with regional Galician favourites like Pulpo a Feira (paprika-spiced octopus and potatoes) or vegetable empanadas that will allow this outstanding white to shine.
Aromas and Flavours
Lemon / Lime
Common in cool climate white wines, this aroma can range from fresh citrus to lemon zest.
Peach
Fuzzy peach candies, or real-life fuzzy peaches fresh from a fresh B.C fruit stand.
Apple
From Granny Smith to Red Delicious, apple makes for a delightfully crisp aroma.
Floral
You just received a bouquet from a secret admirer and the smell is intoxicating.
Bread
That yeasty, slightly sour aroma that embodies the promise of freshly baked bread.

Description
David Seijas has spent the bulk of his life in restaurants, starting with his family's humble La Perla, and culminating with a four-year period as head of sommeliers at legendary Spanish restaurant El Bulli. Throughout, his passion for wine allowed him to refine his craft as one of the top sommeliers in the world. After the restaurant's closure in 2011, Seijas embarked on a variety of projects, from publishing an annual guide book of wine, to contributing as sommelier at ElBulliLab. Gallina de Piel (which translates to "goosebumps") is his latest passion project, founded in 2017 with friend and fellow sommelier Guillem Sanz.
Dedicated to showcasing the best of David Seijas' Galician roots, Manar dos Seixas (which translates roughly to the wellspring or origin of the Seijas family) is made predominantly from Treixadura, Ribeiro's most important white grape. There's small percentages of Godello, Albariño, and Loureiro Blanco in the blend as well, and the resulting wine is incredibly complex and aromatic. Enjoy at about 10 C over the next 3-4 years.
