Crafted from vines planted in 1862 — yes, 160-year-old vines — on pure granite soils in the Rías Baixas subzone of Val do Salnés, this micro-production masterpiece redefines what Albariño can be. Fermented in large old French oak foudres, with no bâtonnage and minimal sulfur, it captures a level of texture, power, and minerality rarely seen in Spanish white wine. The result is a wine that marries the precision of dry Riesling with the depth of white Burgundy — florals, citrus, honey, and crushed granite in seamless harmony.
