The Albariño vineyards for this mineral and spice infused white are located close to O Rosal in the Pontevedra in the south of the Rías Baixas region on Spain’s north-west coast. Here the vineyards are surrounded by water, both sea and river, the vines cultivated on granite terraces with fairly rich, deep soils. Unoaked and lee aged, the wine shows herbal aromas, scents of citrus and clear notes of apple and pear, fresh and fruity in the mouth, the finish continues along the mineral and spice theme.
