Albariño in barrel on the lees: apricot, pear, toasty notes and precise acidity.
White wine · Albariño · Rías Baixas, Spain · 0.75 L
Grape variety: 100% Albariño
Origin: DO Rías Baixas, Val do Salnés subzone
Vineyard: From the oldest family vineyard, traditionally trained in a pergola. Vines planted on granitic Entisols with a sandy-loamy character. Northwest exposure with direct Atlantic influence.
Soils: Granite weathering soil (Entisol) with sandy-loamy structure
Orientation: Northwest
Climate: Atlantic climate with maritime influences. The 2023 vintage was characterized by a good balance between ripeness and freshness, supported by the nighttime cooling, which promoted intense flavors and excellent aging potential.
Vinification: Hand-harvested in perforated 15 kg crates, manual selection upon arrival at the winery. Complete destemming, gentle pressing, cold clarification, and selection of the must. Spontaneous fermentation in French oak barrels.
Maturation: 12 months on the fine lees with regular batonnage in the same barrel, followed by clarification with fish isinglass
Tasting Note: Intense straw yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, ripe white fruit (apricot, Williams pear, vineyard peach) combined with delicate roasted nut aromas, spicy notes, and mineral and smoky hints. Dense and powerful on the palate, carried by precise acidity, great freshness, and impressive persistence.
Food pairing: Ideal with fine fish dishes, seafood, scallops, creamy risottos, 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.
