This is an amazing Albariño that is nothing less than thirst quenching.
With a desire to work with the Albariño grape varietal, we hope to shine light on this unknown treasure of a wine region, Ribeiras do Morrazo
"Nestled along the Atlantic coast, this region is the cradle of Albariño, a grape celebrated for its crisp, aromatic whites. Bursting with citrus and stone fruit notes, balanced by refreshing minerality, these wines capture the maritime influence of their terroir. It has been a real pleasure to work with these amazing vineyards."
Albariño 100%, Albariño is one of the world’s most celebrated white wine grapes, originating from the Atlantic vineyards of northwestern Spain. Best known from the coastal region of Rías Baixas, the grape thrives in cool maritime climates where ocean breezes, abundant rainfall, and granite-rich soils help create wines of exceptional freshness and aromatic intensity.
Albariño grapes are typically small with thick skins, allowing them to retain freshness while developing concentrated flavor. The wines are usually fermented in stainless steel to preserve their vibrant fruit character, though some producers also experiment with lees aging or oak maturation for added texture and complexity.

Winemaking Notes

The grapes were handpicked in small cases at the optimum stage of ripeness. The cases were cold stored over night before whole cluster pressing, cold settling of the musts before racking and fermentation in small stainless steel tanks at 14-16ºC. After the fermentation the wine was aged on fine lies for 4-6 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
