Alba de Vetus is a 100% Albariño from D.O. Rías Baixas. The grapes come from O Rosal, in the southern part of the appellation, close to the Atlantic Ocean and the Portuguese border. Vetus aims here for a fresh and direct expression of Albariño, combining fruit, lively acidity and a clear Atlantic freshness.
