Angel Sequeiros, Albarino Foudre 2010
Vineyard notes
The vineyard does not use any chemical fertilizers or herbicides and the soil has not been removed. Once the crops ripen, the vines are carefully hand picked to ensure the best grape clusters are used during harvest.
Cellar notes
The wine has natural acidity and natural sugar which is a result of being cold-fermented in stainless steel vats. Once fermented, the grapes are aged on sur lees where the heaviest sediments are removed. Albario Foudre has been aged in French oak foudre for 11 months. Afterwards the wine matures in 12 months in stainless steel vats without intervention where there is not any malolactic fermentation. Once the wine has been bottled it will rest for six months before selling. The total aging process for this superb wine takes 30 months.
