  • 100% Albariño from the Val do Salnés sub-region of the Rías Baixas
  • Granitic soils with loads of ocean influence
  • Vines are pergola trained
  • Whole bunch basket pressed to tank, settled for 24-48 hours before being racked to a mix of stainless steel tank & neutral oak barrels for fermentation
  • After primary fermentation wine is racked off the gross lees, then rests in a similar mix of tank & neutral barrel for a total of 8 months
  • Malolactic rarely occurs
  • Gently fined (bentonite clay) & filtered
Tasting Note: Light straw to very light gold, star bright. The nose is med+ with a pleasant aromatic lift of mixed citrus fruit, citrus peels, fresh, first picked apricot and peach stone fruits, and loads of salty mineral and chipped stone notes. On the palate there is an elegant tension, with the Atlantic influence on full display with salt and mineral tones cooling the fruits that fan out on the palate, good concentration with an elegant weight and a lingering finish that fades nice and slowly.
