    95 Pts, Decanter, 2023

The grapes were whole bunch pressed and static settled for 48 to 72 hours. Fermentation started naturally with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats, with additional selected yeasts towards the end of fermentation. Halfway through fermentation, the wine was racked to 700-litre fine grained French oak barrels, where the wine spent 10 months maturing in a combination of new to 4-year old barrels. The wine was racked off its lees once a month; the lees helped to prevent oxidation and therefore kept the wine fresh, rather than adding volume to the wine.

An intense and aromatic Albariño. Aromas of citrus fruit combine with floral notes and mineral nuances. Deliciously refreshing and balanced with a creamy texture and ripe stone fruits enveloped in an enticing smoky character.

Winery

The grapes for O Con come from a single vineyard Sobre a Mina in the Aios area in Sanxenxo, in the O Salne subzone. The old, low yielding 70-year old Albarino vines are planted at a high density and are trained on trellises. Albarino is a hardy, resistant variety, with a loose cluster and small, concentrated grapes. The vineyard is situated close to the sea, where the cooling Atlantic breezes keep the vines ventilated, healthy and impart saline nuances to the wine. The clay-schistous soils imbue the wine with an intense character and mineral style. Plant cover crops keep the soil healthy and maintain biodiversity. The vines are cultivated with natural preparations to reduce phyto-sanitary treatments. The vineyard is cultivated as sustainably and ecologically as possible, provided the weather conditions allow. Organic products, such as copper and natural extracts are used in the first instance, but traditional preparations are used if necessary. Vineyard management and harvesting takes place manually.
