The cooler, higher elevation Condado do Tea subregion gives rise to a fresh, precise expression of Albario in general and this particular site lends an intense mineral streak through the wine. A floral, blossomy nose with peach and apricot aromas which carry through on the palate with taut structure, complex fresh fruit, understated mid-palate weight, all on a strong backbone of mineral acidity. Vinification and elevage in tank on the lees.
From the hillsides of Condado do Tea including an extraordinary plot with 75 year old vines on slate soils. This is unique both because of the age of the vines, but also the slate component (most of the rest of the DO is granite soils).

Located in the northwest Spanish peninsula, Ras Baixas is best known for its extraordinary wines made from the Albario variety. The name of the region is from the Galician language, Gallego, which means low estuary. It is here the Atlantic Ocean makes inroads into the land amidst legendary forests to form the Ras Baixas. Weather here is very special, with mild winters and a lot of rain. Soils are very poor in nutrients, with high acidity content on a variety of terrains including sand, granite and slate.
