Vimbio is their namesake cuvée comes from three parcels on clay soils, primarily Albariño with the rare and nearly extinct Caiño Branco added for acidity, and a bit of Loureiro for fruit and spice. Grapes were hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed immediately before undergoing fermentation and lees-aging in stainless steel tanks, stirred regularly only for the first three months. The finished wine was bottled without fining, and with a light filtration and minimal added SO2.
Baenis comes from one 0.5ha parcel of Albariño named “Campo Casendo” located next to the family home, which has been chemical-free since it was planted. Grapes were hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed immediately before undergoing fermentation and lees-aging in stainless steel tanks without battonage, leaving the tart mineral qualities of the Albariño to shine. The finished wine was bottled a light fining and filtration, and minimal added SO2.
O Acordo is a claret made from two parcels on clay soils, 30yr old estate Albariño and 5yr old Sousón, a native red variety purchased from a neighboring farmer. Grapes were hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed immediately before undergoing fermentation and lees-aging in stainless steel tanks, stirred regularly only for the first three months. The finished wine was bottled without fining, and only a light filtration and minimal added SO2. This is an old-world tinto clarete wine.
