Lagar de Pintos Rías Baixas Albariño 2024

This wine is a finely balanced blend of the estate's seven plots – Palomar, Gatiñeira, Requeixo, Cachadiña, La Escusa, Albar and Puente Arnela – each of which contains varying degrees of granite and sandy soils. Vines planted on soils with a higher proportion of granite tend to ripen earlier than those with more sand, allowing for up to 20 days difference in harvest dates between plots. The vines are on average 50 years old.

Each plot was vinified separately. The grapes were gently whole bunch pressed and fermented using indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks and old oak foudres, enhancing the wine’s texture and aromatic complexity. The juice was aged on lees for 7 to 8 months. A portion of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation to balance the fresh, lively fruit profile and crisp acidity that characterise this wine.
