Albarino (Alvarinho)
Made with Albariño grapes planted over twenty-five years ago which are manually harvested.
After going through the selection table and the destemmer, the grapes are cooled in the tubular exchanger, lying from twelve to twenty four hours in the macerators. During this time the juice is in contact with the grape skins. It is then drained and the must is racked cold, removing the thick elements.
Subsequently, the must temperature is increased to start fermentation with a preselected vat. Once the fermentation is concluded, the wine is kept on the fine lees for two months. During this time, it is racked daily.
The wine decants for a while and then it is filtered before the cold stabilization within isothermal vats. After ten days the wine pass through a microfiltration cartridge and is bottled.
