This wine is fully focused on quality. The Albarino grape has a wonderful affinity with coastal regions as it takes on that salty sea air. Here they retain that salinity by a fully 'gravity fed' system in the winery (multiple floors, wine feeds down by gravity, no pumps!). This careful handling of the wine allows it to retain its purity and express its seaside proximity with super-fresh citrus fruit and a mild salty hint that matches up ideally with all seafood.

The 2022 Albariño Legado del Fraile, originating from Rías Baixas, underwent a brief lees-aging in a tank. It exhibits a green hue and reveals tropical and herbal notes atop a layer of green apple. With a dry and refreshing profile. This taut and savory white wine leaves a rich, enduring finish.
