Neboa, 2021 Albarino

The colder, higher altitude subregion of Condado do Tea yields an expression of Albariño that is crisp and precise, and this particular site gives the wine a distinct minerality. This wine boasts a flowery, blossomy fragrance that is complemented by peach and apricot aromas, with a tight structure, rich fresh fruit, and a bright, grippy finish.

Galicians have more than 70 words to describe rain and fog as it is a defining element throughout the region. NÉBOA is one such word, found in folklore texts to describe the fog that looms over the hillsides. This collaboration is with Bodegas Eidosela in the Condado do Tea subregion of Rías Baixas. On one trip to Galicia, we heard about a unique single vineyard site in their holdings that struck our curiosity and piqued our interest. One visit to the site and we knew it was a special place that has the potential to make a truly world class Albariño.
