2023BodegasAlbamar,Abarino‘OSebal’,GaliciaSpain

<p>One of Xurxo’s projects not technically in D.O. Rías Baixas made from 100% Albariño from a rented 60-year-old plot worked sustainably on granite soils. As vineyards are difficult (or impossible) to purchase in this region, if you want to work with older vines you often have to help farm and buy grapes off the elderly land-owners in Galicia. Everything is hand harvested and, unlike most people in the region, the wine is spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks with full malo. The wine is aged for a few months sur lie in tank, and bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no s02 added. Only around 2,600 bottles are made.</p>
