Description
An acid-driven, profound and classic bottle of Val do Salnes Albariño! This Albariño is made from 30 to 60 year-old vines in the villages of Castrelo and Padrenda; the yields are around 50 hectoliters per hectare and only 3,800 bottles were made. A very pure expression of Albariño, extremely saline and fresh, with perfectly integrated that leaves no trace behind. Finishes precise and clean.
Vineyards are fully organic and he uses some biodynamic methods.
Alberto uses seaweed from the nearby ocean for compost and does not plow in order to keep the surrounding flora and fauna in their natural habitat.
This wine is fermented with wild yeasts by parcel. Preferring the edginess of the naturally high-acid Albariño grape, Alberto eschews adding potassium to his wines. Half of the cuvee was fermented and raised in an old French tina while the other half was fermented and raised in small steel vats for around a year. Bottled with modest levels of SO2 and without clarification or filtration.
This wine is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
