Orballo Albariño 2022 6x75cl

Fresh herbs, lemon, honeydew melon and peach dominate the nose and palate.

Vineyards

This wine is made from Albariño grapes, exclusively from our own vineyards, located at the south of the D.O. Rías Baixas in Galicia, in the northwest of Spain. The wine is ablend of grapes from our estates: “Taboexa” (13 ha.), the highest at 300 meters above sea level, with a sandy and granitic soil, quite usual in the region, giving the wine its characteristic freshness; “Arantei” (35 Ha.) at 30 meters above sea level, with lots of clay and pebbles, giving the wine a mineral and fruity complexity.

Vintage

The 2022 crop was generous in Rías Baixas if slightly down on the record harvest of 2021. July and August were very dry resulting in no issues with disease but vine development slowed due to the dryness. The early autumn rain in September was timely allowing Albariño vines to fully ripen.
