[Bodegas Salnesur] [Where to Buy] [Reviews]

Surrounded by mountains and the Umia River crossing the valley, our vineyards total 375 acres all of which are owned by us. Here, the climate is mild, but the rains are heavy. Fortunately, we receive adequate sunshine to develop our grapes to their optimum level of ripeness. Throughout the growing process, our attendants to the vineyards maintain strict control over the grapes and vines to ensure that the resulting harvest will yield the highest possible quality.

Tasting Notes
Golden yellow in color, this wine has intense and penetrating fruit aromas typical of the Albariño grape, with bold tropical notes and a floral depth. In the mouth, it is expansive, fresh and harmonious, with good body and balanced acidity. It has a long finish which is clean and smooth.
