Cabaliño de Mar: A Delicate and Fresh Albariño from Rías Baixas.

The secret of our Albariño wines is the mixture of nuances achieved through a single variety. This is possible thanksto the work of 250 local wine growersthat cultivate and harvest grapes from several zones of the Apellation Rías Baixas,where the climate and soil, under the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, change allowing to hightlight many different notes and aromas even the wine is made from one single variety.

The planting system in each vineyard is chosen based on soil moisture in order to offer the best conditions for grape ripening and seeking the most sustainable system of cultivation. In areas with mode-rate humidity, Rectoral do Umia hasrecovered one of the oldest forms of the trellis system used for the Albariño variety, it is a very sustainable method in terms of vineyard management and consists of hybrid method between a driven system and a free one, achieving a balance between quantity and quality. In lands with pronounced humidity, where the grapes could acquire an excess of water causing a damage on the flavor and structure of the wine, the vine system of cultivation is set up to keep the grape about two metres far from the floor. that is much slower and more expensive than other driving systems, but guaranteesthe best quality of the product.
