"Our Albariño shows nectarine, unripe apricot, melon and floral notes yet has an absorbing savoury, smokey, lanolin character from old oak and lees contact. Dry with an amazing slippery mid-palate, followed by a mouth watering acidity. Brioche, citrus pith and raw almond flavours finish the palate while a mild salinity helps the wine linger.
Albariño – 100% – Clone 635 and MS. Fruit was destemmed and left on skins for 24 hours before being pressed direct to 500L puncheons with full solids. All old French oak. After a few days, wild fermentation spontaneously started and progressed for 12 days with a maximum temperature of 23 deg C. Post fermentation the wine was stirred a few times and left to mature at cool temperatures. 50% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation. Minimal sulphur was added after 3 months . After total of 9 months of barrel maturation, the wine was racked to tank for bottling. No fining or filtration."
