This is made by Xurxo Alba, one of the most talented young winemakers in the region, well respected by fellow leading winemakers, who positively fizzes with energy and ideas.
Xurxo produces around 1,000ltr of this brilliant wine (equivalent to 69 arrobas, an old unit of measure), Luis Gutierrez’s regular top-rated Rías Baixas albariño. Made from five parcels of vines from 50yo to over 100yo, this is the one and only white wine that's aged for almost two years on fine lees (stainless steel only) and bottled with no filtration.
Subtle and rather discrete on the nose, it explodes into action on the palate, intensity and drive, with stewed lemons and apricots, mango, passion fruit, a saline and iodine mineral core, all beautifully relieved by acidity. It’s worth adding that carafeing this wine works very well. For drinking now to 2030+.
