    Winemaker Notes

    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.

    Blend: 100% Albarino

    Neboa is a collaboration with Bodegas Eidosela in the Condado do Tea subregion of Rías Baixas. On one trip to Galicia and Eidosela, they heard about a unique single vineyard site in their holdings that struck their curiosity and piqued their interest. One visit to the site and they knew it was a special place that has the potential to make a truly world class Albariño. Eidosela agreed to separate out this parcel and vinify the wine for their specifications.

    Bright and aromatic with distinctive floral and fruity characteristics, Albariño has enjoyed a surge in popularity and an increase in plantings over the last couple of decades. Thick skins allow it to withstand the humid conditions of its homeland, Rías Baixas, Spain, free of malady, and produce a weighty but fresh white. Somm Secret—Albariño claims dual citizenship in Spain and Portugal. Under the name Alvarinho, it thrives in Portugal’s northwestern Vinho Verde region, which predictably, borders part of Spain’s Rías Baixas.

    Named after the rías, or estuarine inlets, that flow as far as 20 miles inland, Rías Baixas is an Atlantic coastal region with a cool and wet maritime climate. The entire region claims soil based on granite bedrock, but the inlets create five subregions of slightly different growing environments for its prized white grape, Albariño.

    Val do Salnés on the west coast is said to be the birthplace of Albariño; it is the coolest and wettest of all of the regions. Having been named as the original subregion, today it has the most area under vine and largest number of wineries.

    Ribeira do Ulla in the north and inland along the Ulla River is the newest to be included. It is actually the birthplace of the Padrón pepper!

    Soutomaior is the smallest region and is tucked up in the hills at the end of the inlet called Ria de Vigo. Its soils are light and sandy over granite.

    O Rosal and Condado do Tea are the farthest south in Rías Baixas and their vineyards actually cover the northern slopes of the Miño River, facing the Vinho Verde region in Portugal on its southern bank.

    Albariño gives this region its fame and covers 90% of the area under vine. Caiño blanco, Treixadura and Loureira as well as occasionally Torrontés and Godello are permitted in small amounts in blends with Albariño. Red grapes are not very popular but Mencía, Espadeiro and Caiño Tinto are permitted and grown.
