Tasting Notes for Genio y Figura 2024 by Attis Bodegas y Vinedos

Colour & Appearance

Radiant greenish-yellow with bright silvery reflections and delicate green shimmers.

Nose

A refreshing, Atlantic-influenced aromatic display: exotic notes of lime, grapefruit, lychee, passion fruit and cantaloupe melon meet juicy peach. A maritime spray of seaweed salt, citrus peel, damp herbs and wet chalk lends a cool, puristic clarity to the fruit.

Palate

Racy and focused. The crisp acidity delivers tremendous energy to the palate, whilst the salty minerality provides structure. The fruit remains subtly in the background, underpinned by savoury herbal accents and a sea-fresh elegance. An approachable yet highly expressive white wine.

Terroir & Origin

Grown in the Val do Salnés, the heart of Rías Baixas. The vines are trained in the traditional pergola system on soils of sandy loam over granite bedrock. Due to the westerly aspect, the grapes catch cool Atlantic breezes, ensuring a slow ripening process and striking freshness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Crafted from 100% Albariño. Following hand-harvesting and cold maceration, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for four months on the fine lees with regular stirring (bâttonage). To fully preserve its agile acid structure, malolactic fermentation is avoided.

Food Pairings

Outstanding with seafood, freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns or sea bream ceviche.

Special Features

A prime example of Atlantic-influenced white wine – the oenologist duo of the Fariña brothers and consultant Jean-François Hébrard deliver the salty terroir expression of the Val do Salnés straight to the glass, without any fuss.
