Zarate Albariño

Nai e Señora (“Mother and Lady”) is a young albariño wine. It is produced with 100% albariño grape from the Salnés Valley, with its distinct elegance, structure and salinity, lent to it by the marine influence of the Ría de Arousa sea. It evolves very nicely during its first three years of life. Its label features the silhouette of a woman in a dress with motifs evoking a vineyard in the spring, or in the autumn just before the harvest.

Blanco Granito is the first wine to be fermented and aged in Galician granite. This project pays homage to ancestral winemaking by using innovative egg-shaped, granite vats – the predominate and almost exclusive bedrock found in Rías Baixas. The porosity of the granite is key to constant micro-oxygenation, which heightens the wine’s aromas and gives it the earthy salinity of the rock. The egg-shaped vats facilitate the movement of the wine and maintain the lees in suspension. This increases unctuosity and volume in the mouth. This singular wine has marked acidity and a huge personality.

A clean, bright yellow-straw color with greenish glints. Fresh, with attractive aromas typical of the Albariño grape, dominated by stone fruit (peach, apricot) and tropical fruit (pineapple, passion fruit). White flowers (orange blossom) and hints of citrus are also coming through. Well-balanced, fresh, and pleasant. On the palate, a delicious varietal character, together with subtle mineral and citrus notes.
