Lagar de Cervera
Overall, it was a warmer and rainier winter than usual. By springtime, dry with very high temperatures that led to an early budbreak and suitable fruit set. Extremely warm summer with numerous tropical nights. September began with occasional storm episodes and sunny
weather that extended until October with record temperatures.
100% Albariño grapes from our vineyards in O Rosal and Cambados (D.O. Rias Baixas).
We cool the must to 10ºC for pressing in an inert atmosphere to avoid undesirable oxidations. After settlling, fermentation takes place at 15ºC. Due to the weather conditions and the balance of the obtained musts, the wines do not undergo malolactic fermentation. Conservation of the wine in tanks along with its fine lees, which we keep in suspension through periodic stirring, thus providing complexity.
Bright and lively greenish-yellow color. It stands out for its perfectly defined varietal aroma from the Albariño grape. Notes of white fruit such as apple and pear stand out, with hints of ripe melon and a citrus and floral background. In the mouth, the characteristic freshness and nerve so typical of the variety appear. A very broad and balanced wine, with good structure and a long, persistent finish.
Perfect to enjoy with any appetiser. It is the ideal companion to seafood and fish, as well as salads, fish rice dishes, fowl, and fresh cheese. Ideal in combination with Asian dishes, for example, with sushi or sashimi.
