Vinification
We harvest the grapes by hand, choosing and picking the best grapes for our wine from the vine itself. Once the grapes are harvested, they are macerated at low temperatures for several hours to extract as much aroma as possible. During the next 15 days, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at 17-18ºC before being stabilised in insulated barrels.
Vineyard: CONDADO DE TEA, SINGLE-ESTATE ALBARIÑO
The Pazo de San Mauro vines are over 40 years old and cover a 30 hectare area of pebble plots by the banks of the river Miño, creating a natural amphitheatre and surrounding it with magic and mystery. The grapevines are semi-trellised so that the fruit, of which very little is produced, can grow in the best possible conditions and achieve the highest levels of quality. The soil is sandy by the river and pebbly on the hillsides and high areas; it is suitable for growing different grape varieties and although mainly Albariño is cultivated, other varieties such as Loureiro and Godello are also grown.
