Tasting notes
The wine has a clear and brilliant straw-yellow color. Its aromatic profile is intense and lively with notes of tropical fruit, peach apricot and white flowers, and some balsamic and mineral hints. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced with a vibrant acidity and a marked mineral vein that lingers on the finish.

About this wine
One of the few 2024s in bottle was the 2024 Cíes, a village Albariño from different soils and expositions fermented in neutral barrels of different sizes, where it matured for eight months. The year is characterized by good ripeness; this has 13.3% alcohol and notable balancing acidity and freshness. It's clean, expressive and serious, with a salty twist and a faint bitter twist in the finish.
