This wine was made for the first time in 2017. It is quite unique, as Rodri is the only one to make a single vineyard wine won this exceptional terroir: a 100 year-old vine planted on 3 metres of sans, 50 metres from the seaside at Arra, in Montalvo-Sanxenxo. Unique indeed.
Vinification
This terroir is divided into 3 parcels, but only the grapes of Arreas de Arra are vinified separately.
This wine stays 12 months in a large 1,500-litre foudre, then 2 more years in bottles before being put on the market. The result is astounding.
Storage potential
Already enjoyable.
Will be at its peak between 2027 and 2029 but can be drunk till 2033.
To serve
Serve chilled in a large Bourgogne glass.
Trial analysis
Pale colour. Mineral notes on the nose, very some floral undertones.
It needs some more time to open up.
Nice grip on the palate, with a good backbone of acidity.
Mineral, salty notes dominate the long and energetic finale.
