Tasting Notes(1)

Compared to Valautín, Los Peros offers more fruity notes like lemon and overall is more mineral. On the other hand, it feels heavier and more oily. Give it some time to aerate, and it opens up, showing something interesting, though not overly complex --- thanks to the combination of good fruit, texture, and some bitterness. A bit green, but who cares?
About
This Albillo Real comes from the Los Peros vineyard at 850 metres above sea level, featuring 70-year-old vines growing in granitic soils with red granite outcrops. The vineyard is part of a Special Protection Area for Birds and the Natura 2000 network. It is dry-farmed and organically cultivated, registered with the CAEM. The grapes are harvested manually in 15 kg crates, directly pressed, and the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation and twelve months of ageing in French oak barrels without batonnage.
