Crushed and Cured
Bodegas Gallegas, `Sentidiño` Rías Baixas Albariño, Spain, 2022
This wine is youthful and vibrantly aromatic, combining tangerine, jasmine and grassy aromas on the nose. The palate displays zesty acidity with juicy grapefruit and white peach notes, leading to a refreshing finish.
‘Sentidiño’ is a Galician word meaning common sense. It is used by local fisherman who have the common sense not to take the wild Atlantic waters for granted.
Fruit for ‘Sentidiño’ is sourced from three subzones. The different subzones, with an altitude range of 20-200 metres above sea level, produce wines of subtle diversity and balance.
The grapes were destemmed, and each Albariño plot was fermented in separate stainless steel tanks to guarantee consistent quality and express the maximum potential of the variety. The grapes were macerated at 10ºC for 2-6 hours, followed by a cool fermentation with cultured yeasts in stainless steel tanks to preserve the variety’s crisp aromatics.
