White wine · Albariño · Rías Baixas, Spain · 0.75 L
Vintage: 2022
Grape variety: 100% Albariño
Origin: DO Rías Baixas, Val do Salnés subzone
Vineyard: Individual, old family plots, traditionally trained in pergolas. Vines planted on granitic Entisols with a sandy-loamy character. Northwest exposure with direct Atlantic influence.
Soils: Granite weathering soil (Entisol), sandy-loamy structure
Orientation: Northwest
Climate: Atlantic climate with maritime influences. The 2022 vintage featured a hot, dry summer, cool nights, and an ideal balance of ripeness and freshness, promoting intense aromatics and excellent aging potential.
Vinification: Hand-harvested in perforated crates, selection on the sorting table. Completely destemmed, gentle pressing, and cold clarification. Spontaneous fermentation in 228-liter and 500-liter French oak barrels.
Maturation: 12 months on the fine lees with regular batonnage in the same barrel
Tasting note: Intense yellow with golden reflections, clear and brilliant. On the nose, ripe white fruit (apricot, Williams pear, vineyard peach), complemented by delicate roasted aromas, spicy notes, and mineral and smoky hints. Powerful and dense on the palate, carried by great freshness and pronounced persistence.
Food pairing: Excellent with fine fish dishes, seafood, scallops, creamy risottos, as well as poultry and mature soft cheeses.

An Albariño from vines over 50 years old facing west towards the sea. After fermentation it spends six months on the fine lees in steel tanks and large oak casks. Then the bottles spend six months in crates twelve metres down in the Atlantic, by the artificial mussel beds of the rías. In the glass it is salty and juicy, with very fresh acidity. It costs CHF 89.
