The selected plots are located around O Rosal, in the southernmost coastal part of the D.O. Rías Baixas.
- Location / Origin: O Rosal stretches along the Miño, where the river flows into the Atlantic Ocean and forms the border with Portugal. The plots used are located in the vicinity of Tomiño, within this clearly maritime part of Galicia.
- Altitude: The vineyards are located between 50 and 150 m above sea level. Due to the low altitude, the influence of the ocean and the cooling air currents remain emphatically present.
- Soil: O Rosal is characterized by a granite subsoil with alluvial top layers of, among other things, silt, sand, clay, and gravel. These soils combine drainage with sufficient moisture availability in the rainy climate.
- Climate & Influences: The Atlantic climate brings moderate temperatures and sufficient rainfall, while approximately 2200 hours of sunshine per year allow the grapes to ripen fully while maintaining their natural acidity.
- Vineyard Management: The selected plots were planted around 2000 and are cultivated according to integrated viticulture principles, with traditional soil cultivation and attention to a balanced development of the vines.
The cellar technique is entirely focused on a clear fruit expression and a lively structure.
- Harvest & Selection: The grapes are harvested manually from a selection of different plots around O Rosal. This allows the fruit to be assessed individually for ripeness and quality before being processed.
- Fermentation: Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. This protects the pure aromas of white fruit and herbs and accentuates the natural freshness of the wine.
- Aging: The maturation remains completely free of wood, allowing the juicy fruit, acidity, and subtle balsamic nuances to emerge clearly.
- Alcohol Percentage: With 13% alcohol, the 2025 vintage has sufficient volume for a generous start, while the Atlantic acidity keeps the whole energetic and precise.
The wine is entirely built around the main white grape of Rías Baixas.
- 100% Albariño – O Rosal: Albariño gives the wine its aromatic intensity, vibrant acidity, and combination of white fruit, spiciness, and subtle minerality. In O Rosal, this grape variety usually gets slightly more roundness and ripeness than in the cooler northern parts of Rías Baixas.
