Albariño D.O. Rías Baixas
-
Description :
Made from grapes sourced from the hillsides of Condado do Tea including an extraordinary plot with 75 year old vines on slate soils. This is unique both because of the age of the vines, but also the slate component (most of the rest of the DO is granite soils). Vinification and elevage in tank on the lees.
NÉBOA is a custom cuvee made for Valkyrie Selections by Bodegas Eidosela in the Condado do Tea subregion of Rías Baixas. On one trip to Galicia and Eidosela, they heard about a unique single vineyard site in Bodegas Eidosela's holdings that struck their curiosity and piqued their interest. One visit to the site and they knew it was a special place that has the potential to make a truly world class Albariño. Eidosela agreed to separate out this parcel and vinify the wine to Valkyrie's specifications.
