Albarino O Raio da Vella Mendez, natural wine, aged in oak, rich and textural, opulent aromas and textures for an Albarino. The O Raio da Vella vineyard is planted next to the Atlantic in the municipality of Castrelo de Mino in Pontevedra. The 1.5 hectare estate is planted half to Albariño and the other half to indigenous red varieties. This exceptional vineyard site, not far from the Atlantic was selected by master Albarino wine maker Rodrigo Mendez for its exceptional aromatics and textural elements. The wine has an intensity and depth of flavour and texture rarely found in Albarino, still distinctively fresh and tropical but with layers of confectioners cream alongside, simply delicious.
