Bottle Notes: “Classic Albariño from hand-picked grapes, sustainably grown within sight of the Atlantic Ocean. Bottled after resting at least three months on its fine lees, preserving maximum freshness.”
Technical Notes: “100% Albariño sourced from several micro-plots, located in the villages of Cambados, Vilanova de Arousa and Meaño. The soil consists of decomposed granite with a northwest-north orientation. 100% manual harvest in 17kg crates, with long skin-contact of 8 hours, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Aged for 4 months on its fine lees.”
Tasting Notes: The color is a pale yellow tinged with green with bright green apple notes on the nose and a rich complexity on the palate with green apple, ripe white peaches, honeydew on the long and delicious crisp finish.
Pairing Suggestion: Luxury Experience was “In The Kitchen and Behind The Bar®” creating a pairing dinner of Luxury Experience – Crab, Fennel, Green Apple, and Honeydew Salad to bring out the individual nuances of the wine. This is a “no-cooking required” recipe, which is perfect for easy, and very tasty, Summertime entertaining.
