Fermented and aged in granite vats, it delivers a distinctive mineral character that complements its vibrant citrus and orchard fruit profile—think lemon zest, green apple, and white peach. Subtle saline notes and a hint of wet stone reflect its coastal Galician terroir, while the texture is creamy yet precise, offering a long, elegant finish. This is a complex, terroir-driven Albariño with both freshness and depth. |
