Pepe Luis is a special Albariño cuvée of grapes bought from a grower who has a vineyard right next to the sea, which provides more malic acid and tension. Originating from five small plots, the wine started its fermentation with native stainless steel yeasts and then transferred to oak when it was nine months old. The oak is a lot less striking, with pronounced salinity and acidity, long and mineral, it ends very nicely.

Description
Albamar Pepe Luis is an Albariño which comes from plots very close to the Atlantic which have vines aged around 40 years. Low yields and high quality of these vines, which emerge from sandy soils and are harvested manually. When the grapes arrive at the winery, they’re pressed directly and fermented with their native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is aged in French oak barrels for about 10 months.
Albamar Pepe Luis is a white wine which despite its barrel aging has a very well integrated woody taste and retains all its Atlantic character. A limited production which is increasingly becoming one of the most sought-after and best-rated wines in the Rías Baixas.
