Vinification
An emphasis on minimal intervention in the winemaking and movement of the must entirely by gravity. Grapes arrive at ground level, where they are sorted and gently pressed. The must is cooled, and left to macerate on the skins for a few hours. Stainless steel tanks located below ground level then receive the must; temperature controlled fermentation using indigenous yeasts lasts 4 weeks. The wine is then kept on lees for 2 weeks, with regular stirring to enhance the texture and aromatics. The wine is stabilised, with some vintages undergoing partial malolactic fermentation. Unfined, with a light filtration before bottling.
Flavour profile
This Albariño offers a vibrant profile of spicy yellow citrus, distinct minerality, and characteristic saline notes. The palate is light and fresh, revealing nectarine and subtle baking spices, alongside an appealing depth and texture.
