Tasting notes
The 2021 vintage is very typical of the Albariño grape itself and the Rias Baixas Region. Pale yellow with greenish highlights it looks like a little sunshine in your glass. In the nose we have excellent aromas of white fruits: pear-apple, some orange blossoms A very tasty and refreshing dry wine with perfect acidity. A great balance and evolution in the bottle at the same time delicate and expressive. All this finished with a touch of smooth mineral/honey aftertaste for a perfect balance.

Perfect as an aperitif or with a whole host of Scottish seafood dishes.

The Grapes
The experience and the knowledge he obtained of the area and the Albariño grape led to the selection of 12 Salnés Valley winemakers with vineyards in privileged lands producing high quality fruit for the Clásico Albariño. Some of the vineyards are planted for more than 70 years in the areas of: A Carabuxeira (Sanxenxo), Padrenda (Meaño), Cabeza de Boi (Meis), A Pedreira (Sisán) Castrelo (Cambados) and Lores (Meaño).

The Climate
The Designation of Origin (D.O.) Rias Baixas is fully integrated into the great Atlantic region, with four full seasons . It provides a great variance of temperature and rainfall, and moderated by the influence of the Gulf Stream. In Winter, Atlantic storms arrive bringing heavy rainfall and with little marked differences between day and night temperatures. Spring is early and rainy. In early summer the Azores anticyclone settles over the western Atlantic, preventing the passage of atmospheric disturbances. Rainfall is infrequent and temperatures are consistent. In this season the soils are dry and the vines become mildly stressed from the increased temperature. And because of the sandy soil that helps drainage. In autumn, just after harvest, the storms arrive again one after another, refreshing the soils and vines before winter’s hibernation period.

Terroir/Soil
The Rías Baixas and in particular the vineyards where the Chan de Rosas Clásico Albariño grapes grow, are located next to the Ria de Arousas Sea. The soil shallows but well-drains, formed from the decomposition of the granitic rocks. It results in a sandy soil and acidic structure. Both the location of the land and the type of soil provides the wines with a characteristic albariño notes of crisp fruits, salinity and minerality.
