General Information
Albariño is the star of Galician vineyards, and the D.O. Rías Baixas is its quintessential stronghold. Valmiñor Albariño 2024 is crafted from Albariño vines located between the Miño River and the Atlantic Ocean. A thorough monitoring of the Albariño's quality in the vineyard is carried out until it reaches optimal ripeness. Harvesting is done manually, using 16 kg boxes, and the grape clusters are sorted on a selection table to ensure excellence.
Subsequently, a cold maceration at 10 ºC for 6 hours is applied, followed by gentle pressing. The must undergoes flotation clarification in stainless steel tanks before starting alcoholic fermentation, which takes place at a controlled temperature of 17 ºC for 15 days.
Adegas Valmiñor was founded in 1997 with the aim of producing high-quality white wines and positioning itself at the forefront of the Spanish wine sector. It has 34 hectares of its own vineyards within the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin, in the O Rosal subzone. Valmiñor's philosophy is based on the selection of land and vineyards, meticulous care of the grapes, and the application of advanced technologies to produce a wide range of wines with their own unique character, endorsed by several international awards.
The Valmiñor 2024 white wine (D.O. Rías Baixas) will be the perfect companion for clams a la marinera or grilled sea bream.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow color with green and lemony reflections. Bright and with good tears.
High intensity on the nose where primary and varietal aromas dominate, such as citrus notes of tangerine and orange peel, stone fruits like apricot and peach with a slight touch of lime. Additionally, it presents pleasant floral notes of orange blossom and white flowers.
The palate is fresh, cheerful, and enveloping, with good structure and very well-integrated acidity. It shows good creaminess. The entry is smooth and pleasant with a slightly bitter, fruity, and very long finish.
