La Val Finca Arantei Albarino 2022

100% Albarino

The Finca Arantei hosts a 35-year-old vineyard where the albariño vines enjoy the most generous sun exposure in Rías Baixas and are rooted in fertile, mineral-rich soils, in the old bed of a river. This is the excellent origin of the wine Finca Arantei 2022, a white aged on lees that Bodegas La Val, a benchmark in the D.O., produces exclusively from a selection of the best grapes from the 'pago'.  

Clean and bright yellow and greenish flashes. On the nose, it is complex, mineral, fruity, and floral. It also offers fresh herbs and citrus notes in pleasant harmony. It is an intense wine on the palate, with lots of fruit and good acidity, well-rounded by the creaminess obtained from its aging on lees. Long and persistent, with a finish full of freshness.  12.5% ABV
