Vineyard
40-60 years old vines tended in the granite soils of Val do Salnés, in DO Rías Biaxas DO. Trellised over granite pillars for airflow and to mitigate disease pressures related to high humidity, the vines have been tended to by one of the region’s top viticulturists.
Vinification
Hand harvest, direct to press Albariño. Native fermentation takes place in stainless steel and then in February, after briefly resting on the fine lees, the wine is filtered. Before bottling, the wine is then blended with 15% of the prior year’s Albariño aged for one year in large oak foudre, and then bottled.

Tasting Note
Light, white gold. Green and yellow apple, sea spray and nectarines. Intense granite mineral and saline textures. White flowers and elegance on the finish. Medium bodied with a natural luscious texture of yellow fruit, mouth coating waxiness, honeysuckle, lemon zest and an electric finish – not your Mama’s Albariño.
