Maior De Mendoza Rias Baixas Fulget Albariño 2020 (Spain)
- Dry style
- Citrus & stonefruit
- Anise & mint
- Fresh acidity
Straw yellow in colour with slight greenish hues, limpid and bright. Aromatically of medium-high intensity with hints of stone fruits (peach and medlar), white fruits, pineapple, citrus fruits, anise, mint, florals and lychee. It has good acidity and is fresh and weighty, fruity, long and intense. Very well balanced.
Grapes are sourced from a 15 hectare vineyard in the sub-zone of the Salnes Valley, within the “Rías Baixas” in Spain. Vines are 28 years-old, in slopes over sandy granitic soils, close to the Atlantic Ocean.
Pruning took place during the months of December and January. After the flowering in June, extra shoots were trimmed. Throughout the summer, the crops were thinned and excessive individual branches were cut. During the ripening period a detailed analysis of plots kept check on the levels of acidity and sugar in the grapes. The harvest took place between September 12th – 23th, finding the optimum level of maturation for each plot. All of this was by hand. Grapes were collected in 20 kg boxes; and stored in a refrigerated lorry whilst inside the vineyard and immediately transported to the Wine Cellar where they were cold macerated for an average of 5 hours. Alcoholic fermentation took place over 21 days at a controlled temperature (16ºC-18ºC).
Food Pairing: Suitable as an accompaniment to hors d´oeuvres, shellfish, fish, rice dishes, pasta, white meats and oriental cuisine.
