The vines, averaging nearly 40 years of age, are pergola-trained in shallow granite-rich soils at the coolest and highest section of the estate, just behind the winery. The Atlantic climate of Val do Salnés provides cool maritime influence, preserving freshness, aromatic precision and vibrant acidity while allowing slow, balanced ripening ideal for age-worthy Albariño.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"727\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"700\" data-end=\"711\"\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Albariño\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"746\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-harvested into small 17kg crates. After gentle destemming and crushing, the grapes undergo 12 hours of skin contact to enhance aromatic complexity and texture. The free-run juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts under controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged on fine lees for 36 months, building depth, creaminess and structure while maintaining the mineral precision and freshness characteristic of the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003eTasting note and best served with:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1241\" data-end=\"1244\"\u003eA refined and age-worthy Albariño bursting with exotic aromas of pineapple, honeysuckle and white peach, layered with delicate floral notes, citrus oil and subtle lees complexity.
