WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Ruta 49 Albarino is produced from 100% Albarino grapes. Vinification typically involves anaerobic processes to maintain fruit aromatics, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is often aged on fine lees for a period, such as three months, to enhance its structure. The grapes are sourced from the youngest vineyard of Vina Cartin within the Rías Baixas region.
