After an initial sorting in the vineyard, the grapes are sorted a second time when they arrive at the cellar. Fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. Subsequent maturation on the fine lees for 12 months.The yeast is then removed and the wine remains in the tank until Pablo releases it for sale.
This is a mature Albariño of notable depth. Intense nose with lovely complex notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus, herbs and fresh sea breeze. Balanced on the palate, with a juicy but also salty mouthfeel and a long, complex finish.
From Albariño vines planted over 55 years ago. The vineyards at Bodegas Casa Monte Pío are comprised of small plots. Diminutive holdings like these dominate the Galician landscape.
