An intense and aromatic example of Spain’s iconic variety, Albariño. Aromas of stone fruit combine with floral notes and chalky, mineral nuances. Deliciously refreshing and balanced with deep fruit flavours enveloped in an enticing smoky character and a long, fresh finish.
The grapes for O Con come from a single vineyard ‘Sobre a Mina’ in the DO Rias Baixas in the North West of Spain. The old, low yielding 70-year-old Albariño vines are planted at a density of 1,000 to 2,000 vines per hectare and produce grapes with concentrated flavours. The vineyard is situated on a hillside at an altitude of between 50 to 100 metres above sea level, where it is influenced by cooling sea breezes from the Atlantic. The vineyard is cultivated in the traditional manner and the schistous soils imbue the wine with an intense character and mineral style. The grapes are manually harvested at optimum maturity.
