The very cool sea breeze ensures that the grapes ripen slowly and retain their fresh acidity. The combination of fruit, minerality, and salty freshness gives this Chilean Albariño its very own character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Albariño is made without oak aging. This is a conscious choice: it fully preserves the fresh acidity, fruit, and mineral character. The grapes are grown with a relatively low yield of approximately 6 tons per hectare. The wine is sterile filtered before bottling.
