100% organic Albariño from the Valle del Salnés zone of Rías Baixas (Galicia). Estate grown on traditional pergolas, hand harvested, given a 12 hour skin maceration and fermentation on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Aged 5 months on the fine lees and bottled with no fining or filtration. NO ADDED SULFITES- ZERO/ZERO! A touch of skin contact and time on lees give it texture and lift—golden straw color in the glass, with aromas of ripe orchard fruit, wild herbs, and buttery pastry. Bright, dry, and deeply refreshing. Honest, unfined, and beautifully made. Carballal is a small, forty acre estate owned by the Vásquez Abal family, who has been working their land for over 40 years. They are a family-run winery set up by Benito Vázquez, one of the founding members of the D.O. Rías Baixas.
