Tasting Notes

Aromas of apple, lime and stone fruit. The palate has fresh peach fruit balanced by a lively citrusy tang - giving a crisp and dry finish.

Producer details

This Rías Baixas pioneer was founded in 1985 and has made its name over the past two decades for producing classically-styled, great quality Albariño. There are five sub-regions in Rías Baixas. Bodegas La Val are based in Condado do Tea - away from the coast and just over the Portuguese border. In 2003, a brand new winery was built in Arantei, overlooking the Miño river, equipped with the most modern winemaking equipment. Its vines are around thirty years old and they are grown on the Pergola system, as is typical in the region. This aids the ventilation of the grapes, protecting them from excess humidity and mositure that leads to rot. All fruit is hand-harvested. With over 90 hectares of vineyards across the region, La Val is one of the largest vineyard owners in Rías Baixas, and all its wines are produced from its own grapes. As a result, it is one of the most reliable sources of good quality, moderately-priced Albariño.

In the vineyard

The Albariño vines are planted in sandy / granite soils. After harvesting the grapes are fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, and the wine spends time on its lees before bottling.
