The 2023 vintage was marked by a warm but balanced growing season, with Atlantic breezes and cool nights preserving acidity and aromatic detail. Grapes were harvested by hand and pressed gently before spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel to retain purity and freshness. The wine was aged on fine lees for several months to add texture while keeping the profile focused and vibrant. The resulting style is clean and expressive, showing pear, citrus peel, white flowers and subtle herbal notes, underpinned by granite driven minerality and a crisp, saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eRibeiro, Galicia, Spain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eTreixadura with local field blend varieties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol\u003cstrong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003eFresh, mineral, aromatic, balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic farming, hand harvested, gentle pressing, native yeast fermentation, aged on fine lees in stainless steel, minimal sulphur\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003enatural, low intervention, atlantic influence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augalevada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55324899279224,"sku":"OLLOSRIB-23-AGL-WHI","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Ollos_Branco_Augalevada.png?v=1760976722"},{"product_id":"ribeiro-ollos-de-roque-augalevada-2022","title":"Ribeiro Ollos de Roque, Augalevada 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdega Augalevada was founded in 1998 by Fernando González Arias in the Ribeiro zone of Galicia, with a clear aim to revive traditional varieties and site driven expressions that had largely been overlooked during the region’s commercial expansion.

This is the jewel in the crown made from Augalevada's own grapes as opposed to the Mercenario wines. Iago planted the vines in 2009 and decided to re-graft some of them (see profile) with lado as well as the promising agudelo – a chenin cultivar brought by the monks via the Camino de Santiago centuries ago. The wines were aged under a thin layer of flor in a mix of 500ltr, 600ltr barrels and buried tinajas. Blended in June and bottled in August the following year, the finished wine was then bottle-aged for another year before release. SO2 was only added at bottling to reach a low 25mg\/l total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystalline and lifted, with flavours of pink grapefruit, tarragon and roses, this is lush and round while packed with salivating razor-like acids.
