Vineyards
Location
In close proximity to the bodega, in the Valle del Salnés (Pontevedra).
Climate
Oceanic, with mild average temperatures and very high rainfall (over 1,500 mm/year). The 22nd vintage was distinguished by being warmer and less humid than usual, although in the end there were good weather conditions with rainfall that allowed for a fairly easy and perfect harvest. The results were of very good quality. The volume of the harvest was lower than the previous year.
Soil
Vineyards with a high clay content that run along a strip of clayey soil that descends from the Castrove mountain to the sea, which allows for self-hydration in summer.
Varity
100% Albariño, over 50 years old.
Perfect to combine with all types of fish and seafood, cooked in different ways: on the grill, boiled, stewed, fried...Seafood rice and pasta dishes. Sushi, salads and cold snacks.
