La Val Albariño 2024

The 2024 Albariño is from different vineyards, mixing granite, alluvial and slate soils. It fermented in stainless steel, where the wine was kept with the lees for five months. They want to express the sharp profile of Albariño, not exotic or exuberant. It has 12.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.2 and 7.2 grams of acidity. It has a floral note and a vibrant palate with very good freshness and acidity with a saline twist. It’s a clear step up. It was bottled in March 2025. Drink date: 2025-2028.
