More about this wine
The pioneer of oak-aged Albariños
This project began at the end of the 80s, when the first experiments with French oak barrels started. During the last harvests, the technique has been refined to achieve a wine with a perfect balance between wood and fruit. The grapes come from the highest part of the Tremoedo estate, with very low yields and small berries. Here we do intensive canopy management, in addition to a long maceration process, followed by at least 12 months on fine lees to increase the life of this wine.
Grapes selected from the highest part of the Tremoedo estate.
Aged 6 months in French oak
Tasting notes
Tasting notes
Eye
Intense straw yellow, very bright and with ocher reflections.
Nose
It is explosive, concentrated, with aromas of dehydrated stone fruit, dried figs, coffee, marzipan, brown glaze, slightly spicy, the product of its aging in barrels.
Palate
In the mouth it is marked acidity, nerve and freshness. Its body is medium, light, at the same time very tasty, dominating the salt from its midpoint in the mouth to its long finish.
Granbazan
Long considered one of the benchmark wineries of the entire Rías Baixas appellation, Granbazán farms 17 hectares of Albariño vines in Val do Salnés, the sub-region of the Rías Baixas which is centered around the town of Cambados. Val do Salnés is the site of the oldest Albariño plantations. It is also the coldest and wettest of the five sub-regions. Grapes are trained in the traditional pergola fashion and soils are based on granite with alluvial topsoil. Granbazán supplements their estate fruit with long-term contracts with smallholders in the area.
