2019 VINTAGE
BRAND: As Abeleiras 2019.
QUALITY APPEAL: Sin denominación de origen.
VARIETY: 100 % Albariño.
Small plot located in the Salnés Valley in the town of Meaño, an area of important vineyards due to its characteristics, both for its location, where the valley receives the nearby sea breezes and optimal sunshine for the vine, and for the composition of its soils formed by decomposed granite and rich in organic matter.
As Abeleiras is a vineyard of great sentimental value, as it is the first one planted by Pedro Méndez with his father in 1996.
The clusters are selected by hand at the vineyard, de-stemmed and left to macerate for 12 hours at a controlled temperature, then pressed and the must is transferred to a stainless steel tank where it ferments spontaneously with its indigenous yeasts, without malolactic fermentation and the fine lees are worked by “bâtonnage”. In this vintage the wine has not been clarified or tartaric stabilized. The wine was filtered and SO2 was added in moderate doses before bottling.
The resulting wine is fresh, citric and saline, with volume in the mouth and great cellaring capacity.
