60% Albariño grapes from our vineyards in O Rosal, supplemented with other native varieties: Caiño Blanco, Loureiro and Treixadura. We started the harvest on 16 September at the Silvosa vineyard (O Rosal) and one day later at our Viñadeiro vineyard (O Salnés). After an initial selection of bunches in the field, we hand-picked the grapes in small boxes, which are transported refrigerated to the winery.

In this vintage, 50% of the Albariño wine underwent malolactic fermentation. Each variety is processed separately before the final blending prior to bottling. Until then, the wine rests with its fine lees, which are periodically stirred to keep them in suspension, thus adding complexity to the wine.

In 1988, famed Rioja expositor La Rioja Alta stumbled across a unique parcel in the Rosal subzone of the Rías Baixas in Galicia. After acquiring this and a couple other parcels, their extensive know-how was brought to bear on some very different high-quality raw material from their usual: Albariño. Today this wine, Lagar de Cervera, ranks among the best in the region and certainly stands at the forefront of the Rosal subzone of the appellation.
