WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 1583 Albariño de Fefiñanes is produced using 100% Albariño grapes sourced from Rías Baixas, with a focus on the Val do Salnés region. The harvest for the 2022 vintage occurred in the third week of September. Vinification involves fermentation in used French oak barrels from Bordeaux, lasting for three months with lees stirring. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a six-month aging process on fine lees. This includes four months in French and American oak barrels and two months in stainless steel tanks, with monthly batonnage during the oak aging period.
