A2O ‘Sobre Lias’
This wine is made from 100% Albario grapes from the Salnús Valley. Featuring a combination of fruit collectedfrom owned vineyards, and fruit purchased from some of the very best local growers (manysupplying the winery for up to 30years). The vines used for making this wine havean average age of between 20 and 40 years, and produce a fruity, well-rounded wine that servesas the perfect introduction to Albario.
Tasting Notes
Clean and intensely fresh wine that exhibits all the typical characteristics of the Albario grape variety.
Ripe and aromatic, with overtones of peach,melon and honey, offset by a crisp tangy acidity that helps to balance the rich fruit flavors. A well-rounded wine with a long, mellow,honeyed finish.
