A distinctly Atlantic expression of Albariño, this vintage reflects the character of a balanced yet challenging growing season in Rías Baixas. A warm, wet winter encouraged early budbreak, followed by a rainy spring and a mild summer that allowed for slow, even ripening and grapes of excellent quality at harvest.
Crafted from 100% Albariño grown in the O Rosal and Cambados vineyards, the grapes are gently pressed after cooling in an inert environment. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures to preserve varietal freshness, with no malolactic fermentation to retain vibrant natural acidity. The wine is then aged on fine lees with periodic bâtonnage, enhancing texture, volume, and complexity while maintaining its signature freshness.
The scent is pure and fragrant, with aromas of white fruit — such as apple and pear — along with floral and citrus notes typical of Albariño. On the palate, it is intense, fresh, and well-balanced, with a persistent, saline-accented finish. The result is a bright, precise, and elegant Albariño with lifted freshness, layered structure, and a pure Atlantic character.
