2024 Nanclares, Rias Baixas, Dandelion Albarino

A noteworthy Albariño producer from Val do Salnés, they emphasize a hands-off approach to allow site expression. Rooted in Rías Baixas' predominantly granitic, sandy soils, these old, pergola-trained vines benefit from consistent Atlantic influence. The 2024 vintage, despite early season rainfall and mildew challenges, saw favorable late-season conditions that led to healthy grapes with excellent physiological ripeness and high natural acidity. Whole-bunch pressing, native yeast fermentation in stainless steel, and extended lees aging in tank without malolactic conversion shape the Dandelion Albariño. This focused winemaking preserves the inherent briskness, saline drive, and textural depth, yielding a wine defined by its precise structural clarity and aging potential.
