| This small but brilliantly run cellar was established in 1920 by the Zarate family and is located in the Salnes Valley. The rather academic winemaker is Eulogio Pomares, who studied in both Bordeaux and then Germany to investigate parallels between Albariño and Riesling. His first vintage was 2000 and he has steadily been upgrading technology but, mainly, improving quality in the 11 vineyards which they either buy from or own. He is now beginning to replant some vines to biodynamics and without rootstocks. In the cellar he is low interventionist and his wines are characterised by their pronounced acidity and ageworthiness. |
