Terra De Asorei ‘1953 Brut’ Sparkling Albariño NV

Sparkling Albarño. Who knew?! This is fine and fancy. Intensely perfumed with white flowers and citrus, with a lovely, rich, unctuous nuttiness. Fresh and balanced with a weighty mouthfeel.

In 1953, in Cambados, the first Albariño Wine Festival was held. This triggered the selling and marketing of Albariño wine, which had been carefully safeguarded up until then by the small, family wineries of the Salnés Valley. In 2015, when the winemaking fellowship began producing wine under the label Adegas Terra de Asorei, they decided to mark the occasion by selecting the very first grapes of the harvest, which, after 9 months of ageing in stacks, have now become the basis for this sparkling Albariño.
