From two different vineyards in Maldonado, on the east coast of Uruguay: Garzón and Cerro del Toro. Both in close proximite to the Atlantic Ocean, with stony calcareous soils.
100% hand harvested. 9 months in French oak 2.000 liters foudres.
Light clear golden colour. Delicate mineral nose, unripe pears and granny smith apples, and a touch of butter. Textured palate, with refreshing acidity, very long finish.
Delicious, refined and joyful!
Albariño (or Alvarinho in Portuguese) is a white wine grape grown in Galicia (Spain), and Monção and Melgaço in North-West Portugal.
It is noted for its distinctive botanical aroma with a citrous undertone, very similar to that of Viognier, Gewurztraminer, and Petit Manseng, suggesting apricot and peach. The wine produced is unusually light, and generally high in acidity.
