2021

Periodic rains, mild temperatures, and good weather allowed for proper ripening. The summer was slightly cold and dry, leading to a late harvest. Harvesting was slow due to interruptions caused by intermitient rains. We can define it as "Atlantic", with excellent acidity and a very Galician style.

100% Albariño grapes sourced from the 3.8-hectare Troviscoso estate in Cambados. Planted in 1987 and adjacent to our Viña Deiro vineyard (14.8 hectares). The soils are granite-based. The traditional trellis system is used for cultivation. The vineyard is located near the sea, influenced by gentle maritime breezes.

Vinification took place in the new winery we have built on the aforementioned Troviscoso estate. It fermented at 15°C in three different vessels: a 600-liter egg-shaped concrete tank, 400-liter French oak barrels, and the remainder in stainless steel tanks. The ageing occurred in the same vessels as the fermentation:

- 25%: 12 months in the oak barrels.
- 25%: 12 months in the concrete egg.
- 50%: 12 months in stainless steel tanks.

During this time, work with fine lees continued. The blending of these three components took place before bottling, in July 2023.

Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. Deep and complex on the nose, with aromas of apple and melon that highlight a delicate layer of white flowers. With a saline character and good body, it shows a fleshy texture on the palate. Persistent maritime influence and a delightful finish. Great aging potential.
