Elaboration - Vinification
The grapes were picked manually in 20 kg boxes.
The grapes were picked manually in 20 kg boxes. Vinification started with destemming and pressing, followed by static fining and alcoholic fermentation at 16-18 °C. Subsequently, the wines began malolactic fermentation and were left for several months on lees before being bottled. This allows us to obtain much more complex wines with an unctuous mouthfeel yet maintaining their usual freshness.
Vineyard - Viticulture
Grape growing in Rías Baixas stands out for its Atlantic influence and for a training system known as ‘parra’.
Grape growing in Rías Baixas stands out for its Atlantic influence and for a training system known as ‘parra’. The vines grow up to a height of 180 m and then spread out horizontally. This ensures good ground sun exposure in the summer whilst the clusters remain in the shade, for proper ripening. The grapes ripened very well thanks to warm, dry spring and summer weather. Lower temperatures in August slowed the pace of ripening, helping to maintain the typical acidity of Albariño. Suitable weather in September allowed the grapes to conclude their ripening with great aromatic intensity, balanced acidity and excellent quality.
