Porta Franca Albarino

100% Albariño from 20-35 year old vines in the O Car vineyard in the Meaño area. The vineyard is trained in the pergola method and is planted on rich sandy-loam soils over granitic bedrock. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and gently crushed whole cluster into a 450L used French oak barrel where they fermented and rested on their lees for 11 months, with batonnage for only the first month. Uniquely, this wine is made with zero sulfur additions and completes malolactic conversion.
