Bodegas La Val, Rías Baixas Albariño “Finca Arantei”

Bodegas La Val is a wide-reaching wine firm whose headquarters are now at the Finca Arantei, one of three estates the company owns. Located in the town of Salvaterra di Miño, in the Condado do Tea subzone of Rías Baixas, the Arantei vineyard spans 35 hectares of vines planted back in 1989. The soils are those of an old riverbed, a mix of sandy loam and granite pebbles, and this wine, while grown a little further from the Atlantic Coast than some other Rías Baixas Albariños, exhibits a nice “sea spray” character along with notes of wet stones, white peach, green mango skin, and lime zest. Pair with grilled octopus drizzled with lots of lemon. ¡Perfecto!
