Rias Baixas DO Nanclares y Prieto Fogar do Castriño 2019

The estate, located in the cradle of Albariño, in Spain’s Val do Salnés, comprises five hectares of vines in 15 different parcels. Alberto Nanclares and Silvia Prieto met in 2009, at a tasting organised by Raul Pérez, a leading Bierzo winemaker. Both passionate about wine, they embarked on the ambitious project of producing their own cuvée in 2015. Their approach in both the winery and the vineyard is based on a very low-interventionist philosophy. Each parcel of vines, aged between 30 and 100 years, reaps the benefits of organic methods. The soil is cultivated with the utmost precision without any chemical fertilisers or weedkillers. Once harvested, the grapes are vinified without additives, using minimal doses of sulphur to retain the unique character of the terroir and grape varieties. The result is exceptional wines that will develop their finest nuances over time.
