Product Details
Brand: Adegas Gran Vinum
Producer Profile
Adegas Gran Vinum was founded in 2002 by the Piñeiro Cores family, who have been grape farmers in Rías Baixas for generations. The family owns and farms eight acres of vines and works with 30 small growers.
Situated in the Val do Salnés sub region, the original and oldest subzone of Albariño. The winery and its vineyards are located on a picturesque peninsula that juts out from Spain’s Atlantic coast, bordered by the Umia River to the north, and the Ría de Arosa estuary to the south.
Viticulture
Vineyards benefit from maritime breezes that lower temperatures in the summer and raise them in the winter. These are relatively damp conditions for viticulture, and to keep mould away, the vines are trained on permanent granite pergolas. These keep the vines high off the ground, maximize air circulation, and promote sun exposure.
The soil is composed of granite and sand. The vineyards are fertilized traditionally with clam and cockle shells. Vines average around 40 years old and are pruned and cared for on a regular basis. Some vines are over 100 years old.
Winemaking
Cool maceration and fermentation in stainless steel before immediate bottling to preserve the aromas of the wine.
