El Jardín de Lucía - Albariño | Spanish White Wine

El Jardín de Lucía Albariño is an Uvas Felices project - done in partnership with Bodegas Zarate in Meaño. There are 20 small plots around the towns of Cambados and Ribadumia from which the Albariño grapes are selected, all in the province of Pontevedra. Soils in these vineyards are shallow and sandy, with a mild and humid climate. The grapes are hand-harvesting in September, then fermented, using only the natural yeasts present on the grape skins, and all done in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine spends 4 months on lees before bottling adding texture and body.
