Manuel Moldes is a rising star in Rías Baixas, producing wines that showcase the purity and complexity of the Albariño grape. 'Afelio' is crafted with meticulous care, emphasizing the maritime influence and granitic soils of the region.
- WINEMAKER: Manuel Moldes
-
FARMING: Organic
- VARIETY: 100% Albariño
- TERROIR: The vines, planted in different micro-parcels over granitic soils throughout the Val do Salnés, are meticulously trained onto overhead pergolas, some reaching more than six feet in height and often supported by massive vertical planks of local granite. This laborious system of training helps to fight against the risk of rot due to areas damp and humid climate, and significantly reduces the amount of copper that is sprayed in the vineyards
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal character.
- AGING: Aged for 8–10 months in a mix of stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels, adding texture and complexity while retaining vibrancy.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of white peach, green apple, and citrus zest with hints of saline minerality. The palate is crisp and vibrant, with a creamy texture and a lingering, zesty finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with fresh seafood, shellfish, or light vegetarian dishes like grilled asparagus with lemon butter.
