Variety: 100% Albariño
Country: Spain
Region: Rías Baixas (Val do Salnés subzone)
Farming: Certified Organic. This is exceptionally rare in Rías Baixas, where the high humidity and Atlantic rainfall make mildew a constant threat. The vines average 25–30 years old and are grown in granite and sandy loam soils.
Winemaking: Minimal Intervention. Hand-harvested; spontaneous fermentation using only indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine spends approximately 6 months on the fine lees to build texture and weight. Minimal sulfur is used, and the wine is bottled with very little manipulation.
