Working from a small garage winery in Vilalonga near Sanxenxo since 2009, he focuses on old-vine Albariño from rented parcels, low yields, indigenous yeasts and a hands-off approach in the cellar, using neutral demi-muids, foudres and tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Cesteira is a single-plot Albariño from Góndar, a few kilometres from the winery, grown on mixed soils of decomposed granite with clay, mica, schist and quartz. Early harvests from the plot were so small that they were blended into other wines before it was released under its own name, and production is still tiny, with only around a single foudre made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is raised in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned oak, which keeps the focus on the site rather than the wood. Considered the raciest wine in the Fulcro range, it combines Albariño's Atlantic freshness with real volume and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVintages may vary.
