 The rain in Spain falls mainly in Galicia, especially fine misty 'orballo'! This is a fresh and zesty Albariño from this region of north-west Spain.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh citrus aromas on the nose.

Palate

A bright and textural palate with peachy fruit and notes of galia melon, a refreshing saline edge, and mouth-watering zesty finish.


2022 Orballo Albariño

Production Method

This is a blend of grapes from two estates in the south of DO Rías Baixas in Galicia, north west Spain. Taboexa is a 13ha estate at 300m above sea level, with sandy and granitic soil typical of the region. The Arantei estate is at just 30m above sea level - with clay and pebbly soil. Harvest typically begins in the middle of September - grapes are hand harvested and collected in 20 kilo crates. 70% of the grapes are macerated before pressing for 6 hours at a controlled temperature. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel using natural yeasts, and maturation on the lees is also in stainless steel. The mineral and fruity charcter from the Arantei grapes is balanced by the freshness of the Taboexa grapes.
