Galician folklore tells of houses in the wooded areas of Rias Baixas where, witches would gather to cast spells and dance in anticipation of a favorable harvest.
Albariño is the star in this wine. It comes mostly from the O Rosal subzone of Rias Baixas. O Rosal is a damp area, humid from its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and high annual precipitation. Grapes are trained on pergolas up to seven feet above the ground (that's atypically high) to provide for as much ventilation as possible in order to avoid rot issues. To preserve freshness, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and is not exposed to oak in any manner.
