Chan de Rosas Grand CuveeAlbarino 2018 Magnum

Marcos Lojo crafts classic, hand-harvested albarino from 20-40 year old vines located near the Arousa inlet in heart of the Salnes valley of Galicia, Riax Baixas. The shallow, well-drained soils from granite rock erosion gives acid to the sandy soils. The granite trellising is traditional and allows for airflow to mitigate humidity. The vineyard location, along with soil composition, give depth and salinity to these wines.
