This wine comes from Rías Baixas, a renowned wine region in Galicia, Spain, known for its Albariño wines. The region's granite disintegrating sands and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean impart a distinctive terroir to the wine.

The Sesenta e Nove Arrobas is made from a selection of the best grapes from old vines, which produce fewer clusters but with excellent aromatic qualities. The grapes are vinified exclusively in steel tanks to enhance their rich aromatic qualities, and the wine is aged for 18 months in these tanks. The use of indigenous yeasts and a natural approach to winemaking further accentuates the grape's unique characteristics.

Tasting Notes:

  • Color: The wine has a bright and inviting appearance.
  • Aroma: Expect a vibrant bouquet, brimming with mineral notes along with traces of flowers and a variety of citrus fruits.
  • Palate: The taste is taut, fresh, and saline, with a crisp and invigorating acidity. It flows seamlessly to a finish marked by great freshness, making it both savory and vibrant.

Wine Pairing Ideas: This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, making it an excellent choice for dishes like grilled fish, shellfish, or a seafood paella. Its crispness and acidity also make it a great match for light salads and vegetarian dishes.

Robert Parker (RP) : 96 Points (2020)
I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality, complexity, power, nuance and elegance of the 2020 Sesenta e Nove Arrobas. It's produced in the same way, from the same five plots of old vines, kept with fine lees in stainless steel for some 20 months. The wine feels super complex and approachable, with superb balance and complexity, perfect for current drinking. But it should also develop nicely in bottle. I was expecting a slightly heavier wine, but this is exceptionally fresh. Bravo! 4,900 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2022.
