Lagar de Cervera - Albarino (Rias Baixas)
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. One of the earliest in recent years, starting on August 31st in the Silvosa estate (O Rosal) and on September 8th in the northernmost vineyard, Viñadeiro (O Salnés). First cluster selec�on and manual harves�ng, quickly transported in small boxes to the refrigerated facilities at the winery. Then, they were examined grape by grape by the op�cal sorter, elimina�ng those that do not meet our strict parameters. For the first me, grapes from O Salnés were vinified in the new winery built on the Troviscoso estate (Cambados). We cool the must to 10oC for pressing in an inert atmosphere to avoid undesirable oxidations. After settling, fermenta�on takes place at 15oC. Due to the weather conditions and the balance of the obtained musts, the wines do not undergo malolactic fermentation. Conserva�on 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.
