Doliola is the name of the clay amphorae in which this Albariño spent ten months on its skins, about twenty times longer than the Sitta Maceración. There are only 566 bottles. Citrus and grapefruit peel on the nose; soft, fine tannins, lively acidity and enough fruit to balance the alcohol.
Pair it with spicy dishes, Middle Eastern food, tapas, grilled fish or aged cheese. To us it is the orange wine for people who usually find orange wine too wild.

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.
