Overview

Val de Burgáns pays homage to the Val do Salnés, heart of the Rías Baixas region, surrounded by sea and nature, where tiny vineyards plots are dot the landscape. This bucolic and temperate region of Green Spain is the inspiration for a wine that captures the uniqueness of this maritime terruño. Cool and humid Atlantic breezes and granitic sandy soils combine to create the perfect combination for a generous and vibrant style of Albariño. Only the best plots with a traditional emparrado training system, optimal sun exposure, and naturally low-vigor vines are selected by hand for this cuvée. To complement this wine’s richness and tensile acidity, it is aged for 7-8 months in a large French oak foudre.
