Crushed & Cured
Pazo do Mar, 'Coral do Mar', Rías Baixas, Albariño 2023
This estate grown and bottled Albariño shows stone fruit characters with delicate spicy notes on the nose, which are echoed on the palate along with citrus characters. This poised wine is all held together by a crisp backbone of refreshing and zesty acidity.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were cooled to 8°C for eight hours. The grapes were then carefully sorted and cold macerated on the skins to extract varietal character and body. The must was racked after six to eight hours at low temperatures and fermented in stainless steel vats at 17°C for three to four weeks. The wine was kept in contact with its lees for two months and malolactic conversion was prevented to retain the crisp character of this wine.
