Description
This is a finely balanced blend of fruit from their seven plots. They are each fermented separately using indigenous yeasts and aged on lees in stainless-steel tanks for seven to eight months. Marta avoids malolactic fermentation which helps to retain the fresh, lively fruit that characterises this wine. The nose is scented with zesty citrus notes and is matched by a concentrated and grapefruit-accented palate. There is a trace of salinity on the finish which makes this a very flavourful and complex Albariño.
