Discover the secret of the Atlantic: Albariño & Alvarinho
The journey of Albariño and Alvarinho begins deep in the history of the Iberian Peninsula, a testimony to the cultural exchanges and agricultural arts that have been cultivated over the centuries. Their traces take us back to the monks of the Middle Ages who planted the first vines along the riverbanks and to the Celtic peoples who inhabited the land long before them.
Galicia and Vinho Verde: Where tradition meets modernity
In Spain, it is the region of Galicia that proudly cultivates Albariño, especially in the Denominación de Origen (D.O.) Rías Baixas. Here, in a land embraced by the Atlantic Ocean, the grape variety finds ideal conditions on granite soils and under the influence of the humid, maritime climate.
At the same time, in Portugal, Alvarinho nestles gently in the landscape of the Vinho Verde region, particularly in Monção and Melgaço, where it thrives on the steep slopes along the Minho River. Here, in the far north of Portugal, the grape variety unfolds its full splendor under the influence of the Atlantic climate.
A look into the past: the tradition of pergola cultivation
A special feature of cultivation in Galicia is the traditional pergola training of the vines. This method, in which the vines grow in a kind of latticework high above the ground, allows for better air circulation and sunlight, which in turn benefits the quality of the grapes. This type of vine training reflects the deep connection between the people and their land, a practice that is passed down from generation to generation and shapes the essence of every sip of Albariño.
Discover the beauty of tradition in every glass of Albariño and Alvarinho.
Between the seas: The incomparable quality of the Atlantic
The proximity to the Atlantic gives Albariño and Alvarinho wines their characteristic freshness and minerality. The salty breeze and the humid mists of the sea help the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, giving the wines an incomparable depth and complexity. This is the secret behind the fine fruitiness and delicate, salty minerality that delights wine lovers worldwide.
Feel the breath of the Atlantic in every drop.
The essence of the Atlantic, captured in a glass
Albariño/Alvarinho is not just a wine; it is an experience that captures the essence of the Atlantic in every sip. Grown in the cool, humid Atlantic breeze, the grapes develop an exquisite balance of fine fruitiness and a delicate, salty minerality that gives the wines their unmistakable freshness and vibrancy.
Spain's pride: the Albariño
In Spain, more precisely in the Rías Baixas region, Albariño reaches its peak. The unique combination of granitic soils and the Atlantic climate creates ideal conditions for the development of wines with intense aromas of apricot, peach and citrus fruit, accompanied by a subtle minerality and a hint of herbs.
Portugal's jewel: the Alvarinho
Across the border, in the Vinho Verde region of Portugal, Alvarinho takes on a slightly different but equally seductive guise. Here, where the vines grow on steep slopes near the Minho River, wines are produced that are known for their lively acidity, floral notes and light, sparkling personality.
Explore the diversity and experience how every sip tells the story of a region.
