Abadia de San Campio Albarino

Albarino | Spain

This wine is made from the Albariño grown in highest-altitude, less humid, cooler vineyards where there is a greater day-night temperature differential, thus favoring slower ripening, giving a fresher Albariño of great aromatic intensity, a greater degree of acidity and smoothness on the palate.

The grapes are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in crates weighing no more than 18 Kg, thus preventing the grapes from prematurely splitting open.

After pre-fermentation cold maceration, alcoholic fermentation is carried out using native yeast, isolated from the vineyard. After this, the wine is left to rest for the necessary time period, stabilised and finally bottled.

TASTING NOTES

On the nose, this albarino is characterised by its intense, fresh aromas of tropical fruit, with ripe pineapple and banana in the foreground, alongside delicate aromas of white fruit such as apple and pear. These aromas are enhanced by pre-fermentation cold maceration. On the palate it exhibits freshness, power and balance. The fresh and vibrant acidity of an excellent Albariño is wrapped in a great breadth of flavour. It is a bright, very lively, pleasant, velvety wine. All in all, a well-balanced and attractive wine.

*Minimum 6 bottle purchase.
