The wine region of Rías Baixas
World benchmark for Albariño (~96% of the vineyard), Atlantic Galicia. Lively, saline dry whites with signature notes of grapefruit, white peach, exotic fruit, white flowers and a characteristic iodine touch, a mineral palate kept taut by Atlantic humidity — the perfect match for seafood, polbo á feira and shellfish. Vines sometimes on pergolas (parras). Also Treixadura and Loureira.
The wine region of Galice
Oceanic northwest Spain, cradle of the great Iberian whites. Signature Albarino of Rias Baixas: lively, saline whites with signature notes of citrus, white peach, white flowers, fresh almond and iodine minerality, a taut palate — a perfect match for Atlantic seafood. Also premium Godello (pear, citrus, butter), aromatic Treixadura. Supple Mencia reds (raspberry, herbs, graphite).
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
