2022 Nanclares y Prieto 'O Bocoi Vello de Silvia' Albarino, Rias Baixas, Spain
$39.99
100% Albariño from several plots in Sanxenxo and Meaño. The vines are 25-95 years old, and the plots are largely west-facing and planted on a mix of clay, granodiorite, and sandy granite soils. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and foot-stomped in the ancient method, with about two days of maceration on the skins and stems followed by a gentle pressing in a pneumatic press. The juice ferments with its native yeasts in reconditioned 90+-year-old 1900L chestnut barrels, then rests on the lees for 7 months in the same vessel, with weekly batonnage for the first month.
