The current vintage was made from a selection of grapes in the rain-filled summer of 2014 which contributed to a harvest of strong coastal character with prominent varietal aromas and the typical freshness of Albariño wines. Albariño de Fefiñanes is full-bodied in the mouth, silky and very fresh, combining the harmony of flavors with elegance and dignity.

The vines are planted on trellises so that the very best fruit grows in optimum conditions, reaching its peak quality. The grapes are exposed to long hours of sunshine allowing early ripening and complex structures, and yet retaining the maximum acidity. Highly aromatic and nicely balanced, with an interesting, tasty and elegant finish. Try this wine in California: A Basq Kitchen, Mundaka Restaurant OR New Jersey: Avenue Le Club --------------------------------------------------------------- [SANTIAGO ROMA] Santiago Roma is a sustainable winery based out of a restored farmhouse. Made from 100% Albariño, Santiago Roma is great for all of the senses. The grapes come from the estate-owned vineyards and are de-stemmed, cold-pressed at low pressures with pneumatic presses, racked in cold with a controlled fermentation at 64-68°F. On the palate, laurel, lemon and apple are accompanied by a fresh herb background and a touch of pleasant bitterness that gives life to the wine. Enjoy Santiago Roma at one of these three New York City restaurants: Meson Sevilla, Café Olé, Círculo Español --------------------------------------------------------------- [TERRAS GAUDA O ROSAL] The flagship wine of the winery, Terras Gauda O Rosal is a beautiful representation of a blend of native grapes traditional to DO Rías Baixas. The estate vineyards are grown in the O Rosal Valley, located on the Galician riverbanks of the Miño River. On the palate, it is round with hints of mineral and earthy notes. It finishes with crispness and minerality, revealing its stunning structure, density and balanced acidity.
