Bodegas La Val, parte del grupo CVNE, pone en el mercado la segunda añada de este singular albariño Orballo 2024 que ya nació pisando fuerte con sus 92 puntos Parker para la cosecha 2023.
Bodegas La Val, which belongs to the CVNE group, has released the second vintage of this unique Albariño, which made a powerful debut with a score of 92 Parker points for the 2023 vintage. Orballo 2024, 100% Albariño, was grown on from the winery's closest vineyard to the sea: Vilachan, located in the subzone of O Rosal (D.O. Rías Baixas). The process involved complex ageing on lees in three types of containers: stainless steel, concrete and earthenware. The result is an Albariño with lots character, in which the salinity and minerality typical of its place of origin come through, with a very expressive nose and a very fresh palate.

Founded in 1985, La Val was one of the first brands of the D.O. Rías Baixas and one of the pioneering wineries to recognize the potential of the albariño grape. Its first step was the acquisition of the La Val estate (O Rosal), on the banks of the Miño River. From there, it expanded its vineyard by seeking high-quality land to start new plantations.
In 2003, it moved its production to the Arantei Estate, located in the heart of Condado de Tea, where it built new and modern facilities surrounded by 35 hectares of vineyards with an average age of 30 years. In a region dominated by smallholdings, La Val is one of the wineries with the most owned vineyards in the D.O. Rías Baixas, with 53 hectares spread across different estates.
