Info

Albariño Genio y Figura comes from the Val do Salnes subzone in Rias Baixas. The vines grow in a traditional pergola system with a vine density of 800 plants per hectare. On weathered granite stone and sandy-clay soils, the vines are quite close to the Atlantic Ocean.

After the harvest, the grapes are completely destemmed and cooled down. The alcoholic fermentation takes place under controlled temperature at 12 to 15°C. It then matures on the lees for four months and is regularly stirred by means of battonage. Bottled without filtration.

Color

Bright straw yellow with green reflections

Nose

The 2021 Albariño Genio y Figura directly conveys the feeling of its surroundings. The lush land around the Atlantic coast radiates with green colours and smells wonderfully of the Atlantic constant breeze. Lush grass, wild herbs and lime make the start. White peach, green apple and fresh lemon zest as well as a little elderflower further mix up the fruit. Oyster shell and sea spray join in. Additional green, ethereal accents are provided by lemon balm, lemon thyme and chervil. Mint and eucalyptus are also found in this liquid herb garden.

Palate

The palate is similarly juicy. The Val do Salnes appellation stands for fine, elegant representatives of this grape variety, which receive a racy note from the sandy soils. Genio y Figura stands firm in the glass and radiates with energy. The fruit is lost next to the ethereal freshness, the herbal spiciness and the maritime, almost salty nuances. The fruit now reveals some lime, lemon and green apple. The juiciness, shaped by a trenchant acidity structure, will surely ensure quickly emptied glasses.
