Description
The ‘Rosa Ruiz’ is a 100% Albariño that comes from old, pergola-trained vines planted at the foot of the old Santiago Ruiz winery (now a museum) in San Miguel de Tabagón. These old vines produce low yields of extremely concentrated fruit, packed with flavour. An extended pre-fermentation maceration, to extract maximum aromatics from the thick-skinned Albariño grapes, and five months of lees ageing following fermentation have resulted in a complex wine and textured wine with intense aromas of apricot and ripe lemon.
