Pulpo

D.O. Rías Baixas / White

Pulpo

This wine is made from “Albariño” grapes carefully grown in the vineyards at “Val do Salnés” (valley of the salterns) in Galicia, where most vineyards and wineries congregate under the Denominación de Origen Rías Baixas. This grape variety is characterised by its small clusters, early ripening and medium vigour. They are remarkable for their pleasantly impressive fine and distinguished floral and fruity aromas, of a medium intensity and a medium-long finish.
