A spectacular bottling but also a tremendous Albariño from very old vines (80 to 120 years old) planted on sand. Already impressive and great fine white wine that is highly enjoyable right now, but could obviously age 5/8 easily.
Even though Areas de Arra is fermented in foudre and then aged 12 months in oak, the purity of fruit is enhanced rather than masked.
